ŌURA will now "be able to gauge how 'old' your heart is" TechCrunch. Today, we are announcing two new health features for members: Cardiovascular Age (CVA) and Cardio Capacity. The first new metric CVA is designed so users can understand their cardiovascular age in relation to their chronological age. It “Gauges CVA by analyzing age-related observations within a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal, which carries information about estimated arterial stiffness and pulse wave velocity (PWV).” said Shyamal Patel. The second metric Cardio Capacity is based on estimating VO2 Max, “A measure of the maximum amount of oxygen an individual can use during intense or effortful exercise. In simple terms, the better a person’s cardio capacity, the healthier their cardiovascular system (and organs) will likely be across a lifetime.” 2 year effort by our team to build these innovative features for ŌURA members. Super proud of our science team. Aleksi Rantanen Heli Koskimäki #longevity #hearthealth

3moVery curious to see how the vo2 max estimate compares to garmin and formal tests (will this will be published somewhere?). Great additions!
