I dug deeper into my Oura Ring data using this free app - here's what I found

['Health trackers like Apple Watches and Oura Rings already provide valuable insights into our health patterns and trends. However, a new software tool called Simple Wearable Report takes it a step further by transforming Oura Ring data into a helpful, easily scannable report. This free app was created by an Oura Ring user on the r/ouraring subreddit who wanted to explore their health patterns using AI and share data with their primary care physician (PCP) more easily.', 'Simple Wearable Report generates a report that can be uploaded to various AI tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, allowing users to query the AI and gain a deeper understanding of their trends.

Oura Ring users can already access reports on sleep, cycle insights, health panels, and perimenopause check-ins, as well as view weekly, monthly, quarterly, anniversary, and yearly reports. However, these reports can be cumbersome to navigate, and the creator of Simple Wearable Report wanted to create a report that mimics lab-style summaries for a quick snapshot that a doctor can review.', "I decided to test Simple Wearable Report by uploading my recent Oura Ring data and then uploading the report to Gemini, a chatbot, to ask questions about my data. I also consulted with Oura's AI Advisor, Oura's in-house health coach, to compare the responses.

When I asked about my best wellness days, Oura Advisor provided general ranges of health data, while Gemini offered a more detailed analysis, identifying a specific date when my wellness data was high and providing the readiness and sleep scores for that day.", "The comparison between Gemini and Oura Advisor was interesting. Gemini provided a microscopic view of my data, analyzing my biometrics and assigning scores to metrics that aren't usually shown in the Oura app. For example, when I was ill, Gemini told me I had a resting heart rate contribution score of 7 out of 100 and a sleep debt contribution score of 11 out of 100.

Oura Advisor, on the other hand, provided more general recommendations, such as increasing daytime movement.", "When I asked both chatbots for sleep and activity recommendations, they both suggested increasing my daytime movement. However, Gemini provided more specific and direct advice, recommending that I aim for at least 5,000 steps even on rest days to maintain metabolic health and prevent stiffness. Oura Advisor was gentler, suggesting a short walk break to help my energy stay steady.

Gemini also told me that I don't need better sleep, but rather more of it, recommending that I extend my time in bed by 45 to 60 minutes.", "While Simple Wearable Report provides a more easily readable and importable sheet of data, it's essential to exercise caution when using chatbots to analyze health data. Many chatbots aren't encrypted, and health data is highly valuable. Additionally, chatbots should not be used for diagnosis, as only a doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis.
