Help develop software that detects respiratory infections by signing up for the study. Participating can be done easily from home.

WHAT IS INVESTIGATED: Can the changes in the body state detected by the Oura Ring, such as skin temperature, activity level, and sleep data, accurately detect the risk of an acute respiratory infection – such as the colds/flu, RSV, and COVID-19– or predict the onset of the disease? The sponsor of the study, Oura, invites you to participate in a medical study, in which the accuracy of the software being developed for the detection of common acute respiratory infections will be evaluated.

HOW THE STUDY IS CONDUCTED: All data in the study is collected electronically using a secure data collection system, and the study can be performed from home or elsewhere with an internet connection. In the study, information is collected about respiratory infections that have already occurred in the past and possible illnesses in the future. In the study, you also give permission to use some data registered by your Oura Ring.

At the beginning of the study, you will be asked to fill in a survey that asks for background information, such as age, height, weight and gender, and information about any previous respiratory infections you may have had while using the Oura Ring.

During the study (up to 24 months) you will be asked to answer monthly a short survey, asking whether you have remained healthy or had a respiratory infection in the last month.

Those of having had infection are asked to answer questions about symptoms and to submit a possible medical certificate (if you have obtained one for e.g. your employer).

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY, IF:

  • You are of legal age
  • You are using an Oura Ring (Gen3 or later)
  • You live in Finland
  • You belong to occupational health care
  • You are not pregnant
