Oura announced the acquisition of Counsel Health, an AI-native primary care platform already integrated into the Oura app, for $625 million (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com). The deal aims to expand Oura's healthcare offerings across preventative, acute and chronic care, and to turn the smart ring from a biometric tracker into a broader medical companion (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com). Counsel's CEO Muthu Alagappan will join Oura as chief clinical AI officer, and the Counsel team will keep serving existing and new enterprise partners (techcrunch.com). Counsel's 24/7 medical AI and board-certified physicians will be built directly into the Oura app, offering real-time clinical guidance, prescriptions for episodic conditions, and specialty chronic care such as reproductive and cardiometabolic diseases (zdnet.com). The acquisition follows Oura's recent growth, including a 153% year-over-year revenue increase (techcrunch.com), and its earlier purchases of Galen AI and Doublepoint AI, which strengthen medical data connectivity and interaction capabilities (zdnet.com). The deal is expected to close by year-end, and it is still unclear whether access will be included in the Oura subscription (zdnet.com). ZDNet also suggests that remote physician access could reduce patient reliance on traditional urgent and primary care visits (zdnet.com).

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.
