Oura has gradually become one of the leading manufacturers of health-focused wearables, and its rise is due to a combination of excellent hardware and a strong focus on research and development for accurate health tracking.
In 2024, Oura released its health coach, Oura Advisor, an AI-powered health coach that answers questions about health and wellness using data collected by your Oura Ring. To move forward in this direction, Oura has now announced its proprietary AI model focused on women’s health. It analyzes women’s biometric data and long-term trends to deliver personalized, evidence-based insights tailored to the user.
What’s different about Oura’s new proprietary large language model?
Oura’s new proprietary large language model differs from other AI providers primarily in its training data set. The tailored model is based on trusted medical research and standards, rigorously reviewed by OURA-certified doctors and women’s health experts.
The model is designed for women. When women ask health-related questions, it relies on curated research on women’s health from verified, trusted sources. Combined with user data collected by Oura Ring, it evaluates relevant biometric data and long-term patterns related to sleep, activity, menstrual cycle, pregnancy metrics and other data to provide accurate and reliable insights.
“By developing a model specifically for women and basing it on trusted clinical science and real-world biometric data, we are setting the standard for how responsible intelligence should be built and expanded into additional areas of health, combining rigorous science with the lived, longitudinal data that makes ŌURA uniquely powerful,” said Ricky Bloomfield, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Oura.
What happens to your data?
Oura said the company believes advances in AI should not come at the expense of user data. The model is hosted entirely on Oura’s controlled infrastructure, ensuring that user data is not shared with other AI models.
If someone chooses to participate, their data will be used to train the AI and improve its performance. However, Oura will never share or sell the data to third parties. If a user does not agree to sharing their personal information, they can unsubscribe or choose not to join at any time.
