The Oura Ring is getting a bit more experimental. Starting today, Oura users will get access to a new Oura Labs feature, which allows them to opt in to experimental features. The first will be something called Symptom Radar, which detects early signs of physiological strain. Symptom Radar isn’t quite illness detection — a feature that Oura and many other wearables companies put a lot of research into during the early days of the covid-19 pandemic.

Oura戒指正在变得更具实验性。从今天开始，Oura用户将获得一个新的Oura实验室功能，允许他们选择使用实验功能。第一种是症状雷达，它可以检测生理紧张的早期迹象。症状雷达并不完全是疾病检测——在新型冠状病毒肺炎流行的早期，Oura和许多其他可穿戴设备公司对这一功能进行了大量研究。

Instead, it notifies users of significant changes in biometric trends like temperature, respiratory rate, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. When alerted, users can choose whether to enable Rest Mode or lower their daily activity goal to prioritize rest. While illness could potentially trigger an alert, so could many other factors, like a rough workout or several nights of poor rest.Symptom Radar isn’t quite illness detection, but it’s aimed at giving you a heads-up when strain is detected.

相反，它会通知用户体温、呼吸频率、静息心率和心率变异性等生物特征趋势的重大变化。当收到警报时，用户可以选择是启用休息模式还是降低日常活动目标以优先休息。虽然疾病可能会引发警报，但许多其他因素也可能引发警报，如剧烈运动或几晚休息不佳。症状雷达并不是很好的疾病检测，但它的目的是在检测到压力时给你一个提示。

Image: OuraIt makes sense that Oura is being cautious with how it’s billing this feature. As you can see in the screenshot, the company states that it’s “not a diagnostic feature” and that the goal is to help you better understand your body’s signals. The former would involve getting clearance from the FDA.

图片：OuraIt认为Oura对该功能的计费方式持谨慎态度是有道理的。正如您在屏幕截图中所看到的，该公司声明它“不是诊断功能”，目标是帮助您更好地理解身体的信号。前者将涉及获得FDA的许可。

The latter is considered wellness and general education, which fall outside of the FDA’s purview. Still, that’s not to say illness detection is completely off the table. In a bid to drum up excitement for large-scale illness monitoring, the company released a study last year that found covid-19 symptoms impacted biometrics weeks after infection.

后者被认为是健康和普通教育，不属于FDA的职权范围。不过，这并不是说疾病检测完全不可能。为了激发人们对大规模疾病监测的热情，该公司去年发布了一项研究，发现新型冠状病毒（covid-19）症状在感染数周后影响了生物特征。

The features included in Oura Labs, including Symptom Radar, aren’t set in stone, either. They could potentially be removed, reimagined, or worked into the main app later down the li.

包括症状雷达在内的Oura实验室的功能也不是一成不变的。他们可能会被删除，重新想象，或在以后的li中进入主应用程序。
