Oura introduces pregnancy monitoring capabilities using data collected from more than 10,000 expectant women
In a significant development, smart ring maker Oura has announced an update to its app, introducing pregnancy-tracking features. As of August 12, 2025, these features are now available to users of the Oura Ring Gen3 and Ring 4 [1][4][5].
The new features provide trimester-specific visuals, weekly insights, and pregnancy-aware adjustments to the app’s Readiness, Sleep, and Activity scores, making the ring more responsive to physiological changes during pregnancy.
Functionality includes Trimester Rings & Weekly Insights, Pregnancy-Aware Scores, Symptom Tracking, AI-Backed Support, Deep Data Analysis, and Reproductive Health History Integration.
Trimester Rings & Weekly Insights update the app to show trimester-specific information and weekly guidance relevant to each pregnancy stage [1][4][5]. Pregnancy-Aware Scores adapt traditional scores like Readiness and Sleep to changes such as increased resting heart rate and temperature fluctuations experienced during pregnancy [1][4].
Users can tag over 35 pregnancy-related symptoms (e.g., heartburn, swelling, contractions) and see how these align with biometrics [1][2]. The Oura AI Advisor provides personalized recommendations considering pregnancy, suggesting rest, hydration, or activity modifications [1][3].
The app monitors biometrics over pregnancy, referencing broader population data to show trends and the evolution of health and fitness throughout gestation [3]. Users get insights comparing cycles before, during, and after pregnancy to aid understanding and future planning [2].
Regarding adaptability, the feature continuously adjusts its insights and scores to the changing physiological state associated with the different trimesters and symptoms logged. This dynamic tracking helps expecting parents better understand their unique biometric patterns in the context of pregnancy, supporting them throughout the journey [1][5].
The Oura Advisor feature, a health coach built into the app using biometric trends and AI, is now available to iOS and Android users. It is important to note that unlike the pregnancy-tracking features, the Oura Advisor feature does not appear to be directly related to pregnancy tracking [6].
The new features are part of a wider trend of wearables moving into specific life stages, especially in the women's health space. Reproductive and pregnancy-related data is notoriously under-researched, making these features a growing focus for big-name health and fitness brands [7].
More than half of Oura Advisor beta testers claim it helps them understand their health data and what to do about it. More than 60% of Oura Advisor beta testers use it several times a week [2]. The update aims to provide better, more actionable insights rather than just raw data [8].
The Oura Advisor feature was previously in beta testing, and it is expected to adapt over time as more data is collected. Expectant users can track their resting heart rate and heart rate variability week by week [9]. The features are expected to continue to evolve, providing valuable insights and support to expecting parents.
