(opens in a new tab)Ring Challenge · Sep 2026In September 2026, NoTestudo was one of two teams to win the challenge’s 15-ring award. Seven committed campus participants now hold rings for our campus ring study. The rings come from xFoundry’s partnership with Oura.
xFoundry and Oura logos are used with permission. Mentioning the challenge and the rings doesn’t mean Oura or UMD endorse NoTestudo.
How the study works
“Showing up is the hard part. Done.”
Our team is in xFoundry’s Mental Health Xperience, and the study’s rings come from xFoundry’s partnership with Oura.
(opens in a new tab)xFoundry’s 15-month program asks student teams to build a solution that improves student mental health on college campuses. NoTestudo is one of those teams.
(opens in a new tab)Oura partnered with xFoundry to give Mental Health Xperience teams the chance to earn free Oura Rings for collecting sleep and circadian rhythm data. We earned ours in the MHX Oura Ring Challenge: 15 rings, as one of two winning teams.
Seven committed campus participants hold them now. We don’t publish participant data, and NoTestudo isn’t clinical care.
10 consented discovery interviews about the problem.

NoTestudo is a tracking and reflection tool, not diagnosis, treatment or crisis care. In a crisis in the US, call or text 988.
Pilot numbers aren’t measured yet, so there are none here. We won’t publish a number we haven’t measured.
“Slow and steady still counts.”
The ring study is closed, and NoTestudo itself is invite-only during the campus pilot. Ask someone on campus for an invite, or join the waitlist for the App Store release. Pick your goals and the places that decide them, and your week adds up on its own.
