Omg!! How did I not know about this channel until now🤯🤯. Amazing content and engaging presentation!! Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge with us!!!
Absolutely! I would love to know how Whoop is doing their recovery score. I feel like HRV is so dominant in their system and would love to see someone validate the data on this. (but, whoop doesn't allow you to get your data as easily as just doing an export......) Still, if he can manage to do something like this for whoop, it would be great!
Than you very much for this and the previous Oura video. They're both absolutely amazing and they have given me useful information. Now I can make a more educated evaluation on what the Oura app is telling me. For instance, the previous video taught me that the sleep stages aren't particularly reliable, and I've also witnessed that on my own. Just last night I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and checked the time (around 3:30 and 5:20). No surprise, Oura thinks I was in light sleep at the time. Anyway, this new video was really interesting too; especially the data analysis part. Making videos like this must have taken an enormous amount of time, so once a gain, thanks for your effort. It was also fun to see that studying and using R was actually useful when watching this video. Turns out, the first piece of code you showed earlier in the video has a minor spoiler, about the equation, but most people probably missed it. Also, It was great you added the p-values and correlation coefficients. Most people might not care, but I work with those values occasionally, so I care. The relevant scatter plots were a bit messy, but they were pretty much what I was expecting to see. This is multidimensional data that was produced observationally, so looking at just two dimensions tends to produce plots exactly like this. I've done similar things with data I got from an industrial process and this data had familiar characteristics. For instance, the range of temperatures and pressures etc can't really span several orders of magnitude. You just can't run your (biological or industrial) process like that, so you have to settle for just taking what the process gives you during normal operation. This makes data analysis a bit harder and including a hundred dimensions isn't going to make the data any cleaner. I've tipped my toes into PCR (statistical and biochemical types), so I'm curious to know if you used PCA to group the variables?
Excellent video, I love your relaxed tone, easy to understand for a non-native english speaker :) Also, your method seems serious enough to be taken into consideration. It is the most accurate tests I've ever seen on the web! Thank you and keep going :) PS : what about a video with all your devices you compare them and let us select the most efficient one for a given purpose (fitness, sleep, etc)?
Great video, Rob! I’m a workout nut who’s coming up on 60 years old. Things like HRV, blood pressure, sleep score and spo2 are all really important. I’m an Apple Watch guy and your Apple Watch 6 video was terrific. I always wondered about the oura ring. Thanks for the very interesting info 👍
Thank you for making these! It's nice to see some actual data. Have you looked into the Polar Ignite watch? You can pair it with the H10 chest strap. I'm curious to see how its HRV and "Nightly Recharge" compares to the Oura ring.
Aways with a SMILE 😃😊🙂!!! You really live your work . Thank you for all the hard work you do to give us real scientific information . I always wondered how accurate and reliable all these gadgets are .
This was very well done! When I used a Garmin Vivosmart 4 tracker, it tracked something they called "Body Battery" which I found, subjectively, to be quite accurate and helpful. I suspect it utilizes much of the same data the Oura Ring uses to calculate this. Fitbit doesn't currently have anything like this; they mostly just present you with lots of data and expect you to make sense of it. I don't enjoy wearing rings, or I'd consider the Oura Ring. Thanks!
wow, awesome video! You always smile in front of camera :) I've been wearing OURA ring only during night times... during the day I would leave OURA ring charged.. I should be wearing all day since it will significantly impact my Readiness score..
Excellent video! Really! Basically, I don’t need an Oura ring to to calculate a readiness score. I just need to use a device with which I can track heart rate during sleep, HRV during sleep, restlessness during sleep and take into account how much I have exercised the previous day.
I absolutely love your channel!! Great job! Do keep it up! I saw your previous video on the Oura and I still purchased it anyway because I can’t sleep with a watch on my wrist it’s so uncomfortable so the Oura is the most uncomfortable I can get away with 😆
Damn, you are damn good at your "job". Awesome to watch someone who KNOWS the background of these scientific measurements and explains it to the general population (me included).
Welcome to the Channel Rohit! Thanks for watching my videos :-D. Not easy to select indeed. If you want health tracking (but not a fitness tracker) the Oura is pretty good. For sleep and general activity, Fitbit makes decent devices. Apple has very accurate HR measurements, but Huawei Watch Fit too at a better price.
I use my Oura ring to help manage my fibromyalgia if my body is stressed and my reading and scores a little lower. I don't overdo that day. I regulate myself in a way that matches with what your room says and I can go a long time without having a flare
I was tempted to buy such a ring, but....I think I will wait next version. after reading several opinions from other users, there seems to be some problem with these rings.I remember a case where someone had two rings that gave different results, so.....I don't know, I want something more accurate. I also rely on your very well documented tests I follow them with great interest.
Hi. I'm impressed by the level of detail you dive into in your videos. I'm curious if you have- or would be interested in- comparing the oura ring HRV measurements to the HRV measurements you can do in the HRV4 Training app just using your phone camera. I'm currently using the latter, mainly to help me guide my training volume/intensity, and am curious if there's any substantial difference between the two/if I should consider getting the oura ring. Thanks and good luck with the channel!
Did you still try to model with some non linear relations? Also I really wonder how this compares to the garmin body battery. Any chance you have a video on this planned? :)
Great job! I have just bought Huawei Watch GT 2e because it has 9 algorithms from Firstbeat, they supposedly the best in advanced performance analytics for stress, recovery and exercise. Garmin Fenix 6 uses 18 algorithms from Firstbeat, they are really ahead of competition.
This GT 2e have Spo2? Im a ios user and im see that many video show Huawei watch is not really friendly with ios user. The sofware ios user can use is limited. Can i ask what smartphone that u use?
Fascinating, thanks for this video! I check my Readiness score first thing in the morning. It takes me some time to feel like myself in the morning - I may feel a bit groggy upon waking but then completely normal a bit later in the day, so I use it to know how much to push it in my early morning workout. I have the same scale and would love to know your opinion on its accuracy. 😊 Also, I know you have mentioned several times that you check you blood glucose levels, have you tried using a continuous glucose monitor? The new Freestyle Libre 3 that’s upcoming sounds really interesting... Thanks again for your hard work!
Really interesting statistical inside - Thanks Rob! I was just wondering: Did you really measure ur rectal temperature every morning?! U really dont save any effort for science - respect 😄
I've been a smart watch user in the past. It is not better than the way I feel. The valuable part is history tracking given that I don't really remember how I felt last week let alone last year. One thing they all have in common is how one sleeps at night. What that tell us is that what really matters is to improve night sleep. For that it would be interesting to see how the "new" smart sleep technology really works. What I'm referring to is the cooling mattresses or de moona devices to cool your head during sleep. Will that increase sleep cycles? Change them? That would be valuable information and premium content for your channel.
Great videos! Do you have any recs / further reading on improving sleep? Does the tracking data tell you something about your sleep patterns that helps, ie when to wake up?
Hi Travis! I did interview a colleague who is a sleep scientist a while back: ua-cam.com/video/MPDQ1Tt3y14/v-deo.html . Maybe that is of interest? Thanks!
I was inspired by your videos recently! I wore my Charge 4 and the new Amazon Halo for about a week. Found the sleep tracking of the Halo to be...okay. Didnt detect some times I was awake. I found the heartrate to be super off during HIIT; on my Polar H10 I got 182 max hr, on my fitbit it was 171 max, and on the Halo is was only 150 max. Note I wore them both as recommended by Amazon; right above wrist bone. If I wear my charge 4 with an arm band, I get a much closer max heartrate. Resting heart rates were about the same with both devices. Anyways, the experiment was fun! But I'm sticking with charge 4. I primarily got Halo for the body fat measurements, which I found to be super cool. No way for me to verify their results, tho.
Very cool TechShmoo! A very cheeky question from me: would you be willing to share your raw heart rate data for the Polar H10 - FB Charge 4 - Halo combination so I could potentially use it in a video? No worries if you want to keep it private of course. I just think it could have added value to my videos to have data on other people as well :-) . Have a great day! (If you are willing to share, you can email me at thequantifiedscientist [at] gmail [dot] com )
Your are a genius! Haha also I am surprised that the readiness score is only a simple linear formula. I wonder what is their justification behind the weights of each variable 🤔
Thanks! Not sure either, they seem to be nice round numbers. Also, the Readiness Score is a composite of 8 other scores, making it a bit more complicated to interpret
Hi! I have really appreciated your videos on the oura ring. I was wondering if there was an update to the sleep tracking of the oura ring since the last time you tested it. Do you think it has improved at all? And overall, would you recommend the oura/do you think it is worth the money?
wow. i believe this was your most in-depth video so far. fascinating, especially the corralation between readiness and non-oura data, like blood pressure and hydration. i would certainly love to see more of this. btw, do you also track your nutrition parameters? besides your daily chocolate, that is. ;) And if so - do you have any notewothy findings on how nutrition affects your readiness?
Thanks so much! Interesting questions! I also track nutrition to some degree (basically what I ate in a day, but not the amounts AND total amount of fruits/vegetables in grams), but the processing of this data will be a nightmare (it is super complex to reduce this somehow to data I can analyze) :-P, so that will come in the future

@@TheQuantifiedScientist i use food catering service and then use a script (using pupeteer) that puts all the details to cronometer. I think it is one of the best ways to do that and not go nuts :D awesome video btw!
i use the apple watch and autosleep app - autosleep has been my go to after using multiple top apps, and also i use the HeartWatch which has similar indicator called Recharge score, - which did not have any conclusive correlation of effectiveness in the day tho, but i might not have focused, but that also shows that how unnecessary the score is, i think that if someone has any potential fatigue disorder, then you should be monitoring this.
This is damn impressive ... I recently saw you did a HR & Sleep experiment on the Whoop. Have you done a similar video on the Whoop score? Which do you think is better at predicting "readiness" ... Oura or Whoop?
Nice video :) Did you check for correlation between readiness score and morning PVT? Recently i've found r=-0.31 for PVT Lapses & Total Sleep Time from Dreem 2 Headband. Also i've found -0.52 for Oura night RHR & 0.46 for Oura LnRMSSD (i've calced ln after export). As Dreem 2 tends to have a good accuracy on sleep measure, nightly RHR & RMSSD from Oura seems to have good connection to sleep quality and quantity. I've also checked RHR & RMSSD during deep sleep, but they correlate less with sleep quality. It seems PVT not so sensitive for sleep quality when there is a little unregular sleep deprivation compared with oura hearth metrics, which have moderate correlation around 0.5 :)
I really enjoyed this video. I have recently stopped wearing the ring during the day. I am an ultrarunner and when I have days with as low as 20,000 or up to 80,000 steps, the algorithm seemed like it dinged me for activity when I felt subjectively fine and my HR/HRV, sleep, and temp were fairly good. Now that I don't wear the ring during the day, I feel like the readiness matches my subjective feeling much more accurately. How do you think the readiness score changes when the user doesn't wear the ring during the day?
I'm curious about this too. Considering your daily activity makes up 20% of your readiness score, only wearing it at night has to reduce its accuracy. Its always frustrated me that the Oura app can't/won't pull activity metrics from the health app. I wear my Apple Watch all day and it would be easy for the Oura app to get those metrics.
The hrv driving the readiness score is confusing to me. A low hrv indicates you need rest, but my understanding is that the best way to increase your hrv is activity. Any ideas?
Hi Frederic! Thanks for your comment! I did not include that in this video, since there were so many things to possibly check. I wanted to keep some kind of focus (which was kind of difficult). Anything specific you are interested in? Have a great day!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist : as a mater of fact, i do. Polar and Garmin are using heavily HRV metrics for recovery/workout planinifcation. I can tell that's pretty accurate BUT you have to wear a chest strap when waking up. I don't really care wearing a chest strap when working out but it's pretty annoying to do it in the morning
@@fredericbrugmans8408 Hi Frederic, thanks for your reply! a quick look shows me that the readiness score does have a clear and strong correlation with HRV. However, HRV itself seems to have a bit less of an association with other metrics in the morning. Honestly though, I would have to devote a separate video to this to do it more thoroughly :-P .
Hi! Thanks for the input :-D . As you might have noticed in the video, I use both a wrist based and upper arm BP monitor for exactly this reason. The wrist based monitor is just easier for traveling and such. I think the data with BP I showed here was mostly based on the unit I use on my upper arm. Have a great day!!
Your reviews are kind of stupid and defeats the purpose of any fitness watch or fitness items. Your re iews show non of the devices are accurate and no way can they compare to professional machine's. You totally fail to mention they are still useful and all will still show patterns and trends and its tends you should go by, so still useful.
Very helpful and interesting update on the Oura, great work! My personal interest is in the Recovery Analysis and Capabilities of wearables. I have a client using the Oura who also follows your work and I use a Whoop, so we have compared notes. If you're able to in the future, it would be great if you could look into the Whoop device and maybe a comparative on the Whoop and the Oura. Again, great work and excellent video follow ups!
Damn....You should establish your own validation multi national company.

I am an ultrarunner and when I have days with as low as 20,000 or up to 80,000 steps, the algorithm seemed like it dinged me for activity when I felt subjectively fine and my HR/HRV, sleep, and temp were fairly good. Now that I don't wear the ring during the day, I feel like the readiness matches my subjective feeling much more accurately. How do you think the readiness score changes when the user doesn't wear the ring during the day?
I'm curious about this too. Considering your daily activity makes up 20% of your readiness score, only wearing it at night has to reduce its accuracy. Its always frustrated me that the Oura app can't/won't pull activity metrics from the health app. I wear my Apple Watch all day and it would be easy for the Oura app to get those metrics.
The hrv driving the readiness score is confusing to me. A low hrv indicates you need rest, but my understanding is that the best way to increase your hrv is activity. Any ideas?
Thx for that cool Video! 😀
Hi ! Did you check the correlation with HRV instead of the the HRV Balance scrore ?
Hi Frederic! Thanks for your comment! I did not include that in this video, since there were so many things to possibly check. I wanted to keep some kind of focus (which was kind of difficult). Anything specific you are interested in? Have a great day!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist : as a mater of fact, i do. Polar and Garmin are using heavily HRV metrics for recovery/workout planinifcation. I can tell that's pretty accurate BUT you have to wear a chest strap when waking up. I don't really care wearing a chest strap when working out but it's pretty annoying to do it in the morning
@@fredericbrugmans8408 Hi Frederic, thanks for your reply! a quick look shows me that the readiness score does have a clear and strong correlation with HRV. However, HRV itself seems to have a bit less of an association with other metrics in the morning. Honestly though, I would have to devote a separate video to this to do it more thoroughly :-P .
Which smart watch/ band is good considering android mobile
Please review the FitBit Inspire 2 and the Garmin Fenix 5!
Data-wizzard, amazing!
Thanks so much Jörg!
Thank you.
good work
Thank you! Cheers!
You should check out Dreem 2 headband
Can you send a sos with the ring
Hi Hannah, there are no features you can control from the ring itself. Have a great day!
Wow
Thanks so much!
Wrist blood pressure monitors are terribly inaccurate and unreliable, and those measurements are likely skewing your data :)
Hi! Thanks for the input :-D . As you might have noticed in the video, I use both a wrist based and upper arm BP monitor for exactly this reason. The wrist based monitor is just easier for traveling and such. I think the data with BP I showed here was mostly based on the unit I use on my upper arm. Have a great day!!
wow no dislikes
Did you have to go rectal, dude?
That’s why as women post ovulation our readiness takes a hit 🌟🤔 temmmmmpppp
Also my RHR changes during this time too.
so its basically useless. just listen to your body
Your reviews are kind of stupid and defeats the purpose of any fitness watch or fitness items. Your re iews show non of the devices are accurate and no way can they compare to professional machine's.
You totally fail to mention they are still useful and all will still show patterns and trends and its tends you should go by, so still useful.
Very helpful and interesting update on the Oura, great work! My personal interest is in the Recovery Analysis and Capabilities of wearables. I have a client using the Oura who also follows your work and I use a Whoop, so we have compared notes.
If you're able to in the future, it would be great if you could look into the Whoop device and maybe a comparative on the Whoop and the Oura. Again, great work and excellent video follow ups!
