Oura to acquire Counsel Health for $625M, integrating in-app access to physicians and AI-based primary care
Oura announced its acquisition of AI primary care company Counsel Health for $625 million, aiming to transform its smart ring from a biometric tracker into a comprehensive medical companion. The deal will integrate Counsel Health's 24/7 medical AI and board-certified physicians directly into the Oura app, providing users with real-time clinical guidance, prescriptions for episodic conditions, and specialty chronic care such as reproductive and cardiometabolic diseases. This follows Oura's recent acquisitions of Galen AI and Doublepoint AI, enhancing medical data connectivity and interaction capabilities. The acquisition is expected to close by year-end, though details on subscription inclusion remain unclear. This move could potentially reduce patient reliance on traditional urgent and primary care visits by enabling remote physician access through Oura's platform.
