About BurnoutBlock

Built for people who
push too hard.
Without realising it.

BurnoutBlock is an independent wellness application that transforms your Oura Ring biometric data into daily burnout prevention plans. We are not affiliated with Oura Health — we simply build on top of the most accurate wearable data available to help professionals protect their energy.

Our story

The dashboard
that didn't prevent
anything.

Independent developer and Oura Ring user. BurnoutBlock is a personal project built out of a real experience — and a gap no existing tool was filling.

It started with a Thursday. After weeks of watching an HRV graph decline — 54, 46, 38 — there was a crash anyway. The data was all there. The pattern was unmistakable. But there was no plan, no alert, no action. Just numbers on a screen.

"Your Oura Ring knew before you did. It just didn't know how to tell you what to do about it."

BurnoutBlock was built to close that gap. Not another dashboard. Not more charts. A single daily question answered every morning before you open your laptop: what kind of day can your body handle today?

We built on top of the Oura Ring because it captures the most clinically relevant biometric data available on a consumer device — nocturnal HRV, sleep fragmentation, resting heart rate trends. The science behind burnout detection using these signals is robust (De Looff et al., 2018 · Hynynen et al., 2011 · Gatti et al., 2022). The missing layer was the translation from raw data to actionable plan.

That's what BurnoutBlock does. Nothing more, nothing less.

Our mission

Prevent the crash
before it happens.

◎

From data to action

The world doesn't need another biometric dashboard. It needs a tool that takes those signals and turns them into a concrete daily plan — deep work when you can, recovery when you must.

🛡️

Early, not reactive

Burnout is predictable. The physiological signals emerge 3–5 days before the crash. Our mission is to detect that window and act within it — not after the fact.

🔬

Science-backed

Every signal we monitor, every threshold we use, every protocol we suggest is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We don't guess. We measure, interpret, and act.

Data commitments

Your data is yours.
Full stop.

We access your Oura Ring data with one purpose: generating your daily Resilience Score. Here is exactly what that means in practice.

🔒

Read-only access, always

BurnoutBlock connects to the Oura API in read-only mode. We can never write to, modify, or delete anything in your Oura account. We cannot change your ring settings, your profile, or any stored data.

◈

Minimum data scopes

We only request the four Oura data types we actually use: HRV (heart rate variability), resting heart rate, sleep data, and readiness score. We do not access your name, email, location, GPS, or any personal contact details from Oura.

🔐

Encrypted at rest and in transit

All data transmitted between your Oura Ring, the Oura API, and BurnoutBlock servers is encrypted using TLS (in transit) and AES-256 (at rest). No unencrypted health data is ever stored or transmitted.

✕

Never sold, never shared, never advertised

Your biometric data is processed solely to generate your Resilience Score and action plan. It is never sold to third parties, never used for advertising, and never shared with any entity outside of BurnoutBlock's infrastructure.

↩

Revoke access anytime

You can disconnect BurnoutBlock from your Oura account at any time from your Oura settings. Upon account deletion, all your data is permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.

⚖

GDPR compliant

BurnoutBlock processes health data (a GDPR special category under Art. 9) only with your explicit consent, granted during onboarding. You have the right to access, rectify, delete, and export your data at any time. See our full Privacy Policy for details.
