Oura adds birth control support to its period tracker

Oura is launching a Hormonal Birth Control feature for its smart ring that tracks how over 20 hormonal contraception methods affect biometric data. The feature, rolling out globally May 6th, helps users monitor temperature, sleep, recovery, and bleeding patterns to identify personal baselines and flag health concerns. The update reflects broader health tech trends toward hormone optimization but raises post-Roe v. Wade privacy concerns about period-tracking data.
