Oura Faces Lawsuit Over Accuracy of Sleep-Tracking Claims in Smart Rings
Oura, a Finnish smart ring maker, faces a proposed class-action lawsuit in California alleging it misled consumers about the accuracy of its sleep-tracking technology. The lawsuit claims Oura's rings cannot accurately identify sleep stages like wake, light, deep, and REM sleep because they lack clinical sensors such as scalp electrodes and eye movement detectors. Oura disputes these allegations, citing independent studies and its use of physiological signals to estimate sleep stages. The case challenges marketing claims of up to 95% accuracy compared to clinical sleep labs.
