One of the main problems of the COVID-19 virus is not in the disease itself, but in the spread: the infected person for two or more weeks may not know at all that he caught the infection, while infecting everyone around him. That is why it is necessary to wear masks and respirators: they may not protect you, but all around you – yes. And if the rest will also be masked, the spread of infection will noticeably decrease, as evidenced by world practice.
Scientists around the world are looking for new ways to diagnose COVID-19 before symptoms appear. Oura is testing a system with smart rings that can diagnose coronavirus in the device’s carrier within a few days with an accuracy of 90%.
The ring collects physiological data, such as body temperature, resting heart rate and activity, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns. It is also necessary to take a daily survey in the application, where you will be asked related questions to identify the disease.
Experts believe that the “smart” Oura rings will become an integral accessory of every medical professional in the future, because they are most prone to infection.
Research is carried out further, it will be available to all owners of Oura – it is not known, but even now you can buy such a ring (it costs $ 299 on the manufacturer’s website) and monitor your main indicators.
