The Validation
Oura’s Science Team assembled a task force of employees, data scientists, physiologists, and engineers to fast-track publicly available validation results. In total, the team was able to collect 93,571 data points in a single week.
The task force selected iButton sensors as the research-grade tool to evaluate Oura’s performance.8 The goal of this study was not only to validate Oura’s temperature sensor under lab conditions, but to show that Oura maintains performance even during the challenges of measuring data in ‘noisier’ real-world scenarios.
