What do you think of the NBA’s return plan?

any followup to this after 5 months? Was the Oura able to predict anything? and my sports watch also measures Heart rate, HRV, temp, activity- and a lot more. Why a ring and not one of the many watches that also measure this info, and have a lot more processing horsepower aboard?

same effectiveness as nuva ring

Great video. Love the headline. Simple and to the point. Cool idea to put the audio visualizer around the ring.

Chiping people!!!

For reallll !!!

Wow a whole industry developed around a virus made in a lab. SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS ALL PLANNED

ahh yes, wearable enhance physical ability. anyone remembers power balance?

Smart watch already can easily incorporate these feature. Much better and allow more flexibility than a ring could ever be.

Using the word "predict" instead of "early detection" is just wrong

More data to steal for FaceBook

Well if it detects body temp, also heart rate will go up with dehydration, which might be a sign, then yes there is a chance it might predict disease.

One ring to rule them all...

The verge is cancer hope this company burns to the ground

What a great use of over a half a million dollars.

The algorithms on my Garmin definitely work for me.

That’s exactly all this is. An experiment to learn, record their behaviors of our bodies. AI robots will be replacing humans. But first tech needs the best advanced data about human capabilities. Athletes 💡

I have the Oura ring and I love it

Um.... We know enough... Common side effects are feverlike... AKA higher body temperature.... Doesn't take a brain to figure that out. Lots of rings are designed to change colors based on heat

Title changed?

This is a world of EASY MONEY!

Everything's a scam. No company wants to work hard or care for the consumer.

Yes, thank you for saying it!

How is collecting data a "risk"? If idiots want to interpret that data illogically that's on them. But it's just data. Data collection itself is not "questionable".

Such a scam

So the real issue is that we are in a phase where these technologies are just improving with a goal to be 100% accurate, and we need to just endure or wait till they finish R&D phases. These technologies will become so accurate so that they can immediately not predict but actually identify sickness (patterns in brainwaves, heart rate etc) and they will reach the point where there is no "predicting sickness" but a point where the sickness is scientifically identified even when the markers are in earliest stage/smallest. It is important that these companies do indeed develop these technologies. Always forward!

If a player dunks with that ring they boutta get a ring sheet

This video is completely inaccurate, Oura didn’t just pivot now for illness prediction, it was part of the initial pitch. Otherwise why would they had a temp monitor? Lazy reporting by the Verge again 😏

In short, pro sports have just so much money to purchase devices that are flashy but no proof of helping the players.

Do her eyebrows ever come down?

Nick Watney and the PGA tour said the Whoop was the detection point that triggered additional testing prior to the RBC heritage. 🧐. Where Watney had subsequently tested positive.

Anyone else just staring blankly at the screen while watching this?

This was brilliant.

any one else spot the Five Ultimate shorts?

That’s really cool! Kind of want to see if an magical 8-Ball can be used to predict illness jk 😂

sometimes old school is the best school

Why is the camera looking up at her nostrils. Why not make the camera higher

one ring to rule them all.

Interesting this could defenitely work. BTW I noticed that you guys removed NBA from the Title/Thumbnail & also changed your title & thumbnail.

“Except for running an experiment” literally. And means to collect data. Yea it’s helpful, but 1. Probably won’t predict COVID (who knows) 2. It’s invasive What I do think though, is that it if the sleep tracking is good, it’ll improve sleep tracking for people who have long had a sleep problem (ex: NBA Players!!!)

I have a Fitbit charge 3, it was not used as a tool for this, but I got covid, when I had covid my resting heart rate went up, you can match the days before going to the hospital. It's not preventing anything but it can help

I bought the Motiv ring years ago not the Oura, having owned a smart ring there are some issues that I feel I should mention. First of all it is a ring, the fitment of the ring should be snug (not lose or tight) against the finger or the sensors don't get a proper reading. What about finger swelling? The Motiv ring I had frequently had issues staying synced and would loose chunks of data. One can only hope Oura has improved the battery design over Motiv which it failed and only after a month could be charged again. I honestly believe any smart ring is a waste of time and money, maybe I'll be proven wrong someday just not today.

I actually got an ad for Whoop on this video.

When 5 kids wear the rings Captain Planet appears.

Nobody more superstitious than pro athletes.

Fyi, Muggsy Bogues is 5’3. I had far more to say to and about you that is in fact harsh and cruel but I’ll be nice and leave you with this advice Nicole smh *STOP. MAKING. EXCUSES!!!*

Don't kid yourself. This is a pre-cursor to the Digital ID/ Biblical MARK. Just like the Tom Hanks movie: The Circle.

OMG this small speaker recording is pricing my brains. Please record from normal large speakers next time and not small pichie tin cans.

This is awesome. Thousands of people are volunteering themselves for testing new tech. I love it

I’m sure they’re just wearing the rings as just yet another precaution.

I just saw a commercial for WHOOP halfway through this video wtf?

I must be stuck in the 90s, I cannot believe folks consent to this kind of data harvesting

What would be the hypothesis that's being tested in this "experiment"?

This isn't the only measure they've taken they test everyday for covid y'all out there wanting this to fail ffs

some are using whoop too. check them out

If this was possible then smart watches would of been on this before these rings

They also did it as a test ground for the next season ...which most likely will be in several bubbles

is he speaking through the ring?

This has ruined ALL PRO SPORTS. ALL entertainment. 2020 has ended it. Covid is a sack of lies and bs

The Oura ring was used by the best teams in the professional cycling peloton in the Tour De France for the last two years. It is the best sleep tracker you can buy right now.

just do it the way F1 does it. testing, separate bubbles, isolation

Even more rings for Lebron.

What is everyone’s favorite NBA team? Comment below.

Stupid to reopen anything this soon

Seems like they just want to take advantage of a great publicy moment

seems plausible but then i saw the $299 pricetag

It seems to be too rushed.

I love my Oura!

I saw Javale McGee wearing something on his wrist too

Tracking device?

Who do you think is going to win the finals?

Literally 99% wont see this but if you do, God bless you, stay safe and Follow your dreams😀 My Dream is to have a lot of people see my videos . I've been struggling to get there💙

First!
