How to Export Oura Ring Data
Time required: about 3 minutes. Oura generates the CSV instantly.
Step-by-step
1. Open a browser and go to https://cloud.ouraring.com/
2. Sign in with your Oura account credentials.
3. Click your profile picture (top right) → Settings.
4. Scroll to “Account” → look for “Export Data.”
5. Choose CSV (recommended) or JSON. We can read either.
6. Pick the date range — longer is better. Oura defaults to 6 months; change to “All Time.”
7. Click “Download Export” — file downloads to your browser’s downloads folder.
The file is usually a single CSV file, around 200 KB – 5 MB.
What’s in the export
- Resting heart rate (overnight average)
- Heart rate variability (HRV) — overnight average, considered the most reliable HRV consumer measure
- Body temperature deviation
- Sleep stages (REM, light, deep, awake)
- Total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep latency
- Respiratory rate
- Daily readiness score
- Activity / step counts
Sending it to us
Drop the CSV (or JSON) into your secure upload link from the Verified tier checkout.
Troubleshooting
“Export Data” option not visible: Make sure you’re on the web dashboard at cloud.ouraring.com — the mobile app does not have full export. Sign in on a browser.
Date range option missing: Update your browser or try in incognito mode.
Want temperature data: It’s in the CSV by default. 1st-gen Oura doesn’t record temperature.
What we do with it
Oura’s overnight HRV and temperature data are unusually high-quality for a consumer device. We use them for: POTS / dysautonomia (HRV trend), ME/CFS (post-exertional crashes show as HRV drops 24–72 hours after exertion), long COVID (temperature deviations during flare-ups), sleep disorders (sleep efficiency and respiratory rate). We extract patterns clinically relevant to your specific claim. Identifiers scrubbed before AI processing.
