Hints from Oura VP suggest potential integration of additional wearable devices that could enhance functionality of smart rings in the future.
In the world of wearable technology, the Oura Ring has been a pioneering force in health tracking since its inception. By 2035, the hypothetical Oura Ring 10 is poised to redefine the landscape of personal health monitoring, offering significant improvements in battery life, design, features, and health metrics.
Currently, the Oura Ring 4, debuted in 2025, offers a battery life of around 6–7 days on a single charge, boasts a durable titanium build, and a sleek design with recessed sensors for comfort. It provides comprehensive health tracking including heart rate, sleep stages, body temperature, menstrual cycle tracking, stress monitoring, and requires a subscription for advanced data analysis.
However, the Oura Ring 10, hypothetically debuting in 2035, will likely reflect a major evolution in form and function.
Battery Life
By 2035, wearable tech is expected to advance to support at least 2–3 weeks or more of continuous use without charging. This remarkable improvement may be achieved through new battery chemistries or energy harvesting methods, such as body heat or movement charging, surpassing the 7 days of the Ring 4.
Design
The ring will probably maintain a lightweight, sleek titanium or advanced composite build but be even thinner and more ergonomic due to improvements in miniaturization and materials science. Sensor integration will be virtually seamless with no bumps, optimizing comfort and durability beyond the already smooth feel of Gen 4.
Features
The Ring 10 is expected to feature:
- Expanded biosensors beyond the standard PPG heart rate, temperature, and movement sensors—potentially including continuous glucose monitoring, blood pressure, hydration levels, oxygen saturation, cortisol or hormone markers, and more.
- Real-time stress and emotion detection through advanced algorithms incorporating multiple biometric inputs.
- AI-driven personalized health coaching with predictive analytics, potentially integrating genomic or microbiome data.
- Enhanced environmental sensing (e.g., air quality, UV exposure).
- More seamless integration with broader health ecosystems and smart devices.
- Possibly direct medical-grade diagnostics or FDA-approved features given technological advancements in biosensing.
Health Metrics
The Oura Ring 10 would likely track a broader and more precise set of health metrics in real-time with medical accuracy, going beyond sleep, heart rate, and body temperature to include metabolic markers, biochemical signatures, cardiovascular age, mental health parameters, and resilience scores with daily actionable recommendations.
In the future, smart rings may enable secure sharing of health data with care teams, integrate with electronic health records, or assist with medication adherence. Oura will continue to integrate complementary wearables to offer a more complete picture of health. Future insights from Oura smart rings will anticipate changes in health, offer personalized, real-time guidance, and adapt to unique physiology and goals.
With the Oura Ring 10, the future of personal health monitoring is not just about tracking data, but about understanding health in real-time and anticipating issues before they arise. The Oura Ring 10, through its advanced AI, Advisor, will become more proactive and personalized, using long-term trend data to identify potential health issues. The company will also collaborate with the broader health ecosystem to enhance telehealth and clinical decision-making.
As we look toward 2035, the Oura Ring 10 could be a highly advanced, ultra-efficient, and comprehensive health-monitoring device, far surpassing the capabilities and battery life of the Oura Ring 4 from 2025, while maintaining or improving on the sleek, comfortable design that makes the smart ring format appealing.
The Oura Ring 10, hypothetically debuting in 2035, will likely offer a significant improvement in battery life, surpassing the 7 days of the Ring 4 by supporting at least 2–3 weeks of continuous use without charging, thanks to new battery chemistries or energy harvesting methods.
In terms of design, the Ring 10 may maintain a lightweight, sleek titanium or advanced composite build but be even thinner and more ergonomic due to improvements in miniaturization and materials science, with sensor integration being virtually seamless for optimized comfort and durability.
