OURA Ring Wearable Testing in MDS Patients: a Feasibility and Discovery Pilot Study
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
60 participants
Mar 20, 2025
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
A prospective, single center, single arm phase 2 cohort feasibility study of the OURA ring in adult MDS patients. Patients with MDS will wear the OURA ring and upload biometrics weekly. Quality of life measures will be clinically evaluated and correlated with biometrics. We hypothesize that it will be feasible for MDS patients to wear the OURA ring 70% of the time for 3 months.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Male or female, aged 18 or older
- Able to read, write and speak English or French (non-English or French speaking patients may participate if appropriate translation is used)
- Diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome using WHO 2022 criteria (12) all risk groups
- Ability to wear the OURA ring and operate the associated smart-phone app, and willing to adhere to the study regimen
Exclusion Criteria2
- Performance status ECOG > 3.
- Cognitive or physical impairment preventing the usage or utilization of the OURA ring and smart phone.

Interventions
The OURA ring (https://ouraring.com) is a light-weight wearable device in the form of a ring that has several microsensors enabling detection of heart rate, blood oxygen level, skin temperature, and movement. The OURA ring and application can synthesize the sensory data to generate physiologic information such as sleep, activity level, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and more. The OURA ring is water resistant and has up to 5-7 days of battery life and can be fully charged in 20-80 minutes. It communicates with the OURA app and commonly used Smartphone health apps via Bluetooth connectivity with automatic syncing every week.
