Local Resident FURIOUS After Doctor Tells Her oura ring 5 Data Is 'Worthless'—Common Sense Says Check Your Oxygen Levels at Bedtime!
I just read about a woman who spent nearly $500 on the new oura ring 5 because her doctor recommended tracking sleep. She brings in all these charts showing her breathing stops at 3 AM, and the doctor says, "Oh, those consumer gadgets aren't medical grade." Common sense, people! If you wake up gasping for air, you don't need a lab coat to tell you something's wrong. Meanwhile, her husband's been using his old oura ring for years and caught his own sleep apnea with it. Maybe the real diagnosis is that doctors need to listen to data that's actually worn on your finger, not just the data that fits their clipboard.
