How to Share Oura Ring Data with Your Doctor
Your Oura Ring collects detailed data every day. Here are three ways to bring that data to your next doctor's appointment, from a quick screenshot to a formatted clinical summary.
Note: Oura Ring is not a medical device. The information on this page is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider about how to use wearable data in your care.
Method 1: Oura App Screenshots
The quickest option, but the least clinical
How it works
- Open the Oura app and go to the Trends tab.
- Select the time range you want to share (1 week, 1 month, etc.).

- Email or print the screenshots for your appointment.

Tips for Your Appointment
- 1
Share more than one night. A few weeks of data shows patterns rather than a single snapshot. Your doctor can decide how much context they need.
- 2
Mention what prompted your visit. If you have a specific concern, let your doctor know so they can focus on the relevant data.
- 3
Let your doctor interpret the data. Wearable data is not a diagnosis. Share what you have observed and let your healthcare provider draw conclusions.
- 4
Ask questions. Your doctor can tell you whether any patterns in your data are worth investigating further.
- 5
Keep it simple. A concise summary is easier to review than a stack of raw data. Focus on the metrics relevant to your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just show my doctor the Oura app during the appointment?
You can. The app shows charts and trends directly on your phone. A printed or PDF summary is easier to hand over and can be filed in your medical record, but the app works too.
What data does the Oura Ring collect?
Oura tracks heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen (SpO2), skin temperature, sleep stages, sleep timing, respiratory rate, and daily activity. Your doctor can decide which of these are relevant to your visit.
Is the Oura Ring a medical device?
No. The Oura Ring is a consumer wearable, not an FDA-cleared medical device. It records health-related data continuously, but it cannot diagnose conditions. Your doctor can tell you whether and how to use the data.
Is the wearable report free?
Yes. Simple Wearable Report is free to use. You connect your Oura Ring, sync your data, and generate a report at no cost.
