Key Metrics to Monitor When Ill
When under the weather, certain physiological signs become tell-tale indicators of your body’s battle against illness.
The Oura App zeroes in on four critical metrics: body temperature, respiratory rate, heart activity, and sleep or activity patterns.
It’s crucial to juxtapose these readings against your typical baseline to discern any anomalies signaling health issues.
1. Increase in Body Temperature Trends
Inflammatory responses triggered by the immune system’s fight against infections often manifest as increased body temperature.
This reaction, while a natural defense mechanism, requires vigilant monitoring. The Oura Ring facilitates this by tracking temperature trends, enabling users to detect deviations from their normal temperature range.
Such meticulous monitoring can be the difference between catching an illness early or suffering compounded effects down the line.
2. Increase in Respiratory Rate
Respiratory rate serves as a critical health metric, especially in diagnosing respiratory infections or coughs.
An elevated rate beyond the healthy adult norm of 12–20 breaths per minute could be a red flag.
The Oura App aids in this context by allowing for a comprehensive view of respiration over time, even indicating prolonged recovery phases post-illness.
3. Changes in Heart Activity
Illness often triggers an increased resting heart rate and a decrease in heart rate variability, courtesy of the sympathetic nervous system’s activation.
Monitoring these changes through the Oura App can provide insights into the body’s stress levels and recovery status, making it an indispensable tool for anyone keen on maintaining heart health during and after an illness.
4. Changes in Sleep or Activity Patterns
Illness invariably alters sleep and activity patterns, pushing the body to prioritize rest for recovery.
The Oura App’s detailed sleep tracking highlights shifts towards more restorative sleep stages or reduced activity levels, offering a window into the body’s natural recuperation process.
