Can health trackers help you manage menopause symptoms?

Tonya Kuxhausen began wearing an Oura ring in late 2021. A 55-year-old nurse in Minneapolis, she kept the band on her finger nearly all the time: during emergency-room shifts, overnight while she slept and everywhere in between.

She came to rely on it even more after she developed long Covid in 2022. A few years later, when her periods became erratic as she approached menopause, the ring’s alerts felt less helpful. “You better take it easy today,” Kuxhausen recalled the app warning, as if “something really awful’s going to happen.”

Tonya Kuxhausen 于 2021 年底开始佩戴 Oura 戒指。这位 55 岁的明尼阿波利斯护士几乎一直戴着这枚戒指：在急诊室值班时、晚上睡觉时以及介于两者之间的所有时间。

2022年她患上新冠后遗症后，就更加依赖这款戒指了。几年后，随着她接近更年期，月经变得不规律，戒指的提醒对她来说就没那么有用了。“你今天最好休息一下，”库克斯豪森回忆起应用程序的警告时说道，仿佛“有什么可怕的事情要发生”。
