Smart ring maker ĹŚURA today announced an expansion of its product experience through the introduction of two new metabolic health features, Meals and Glucose. The company is combining meal insights with glucose data from Stelo by Dexcom, an FDA-cleared glucose biosensor available without a prescription in the United States, directly in the Oura App.
Through ŌURA’s strategic partnership and integration with Dexcom, Oura members can now purchase a Stelo directly from ouraring.com to receive 24/7 glucose insights and gain a better understanding of their metabolic health. Stelo, a small biosensor worn on the back of the upper arm, uses Dexcom’s glucose sensing technology and reveals how lifestyle factors can affect glucose.
Since receiving FDA-clearance, Stelo has expanded access to glucose sensing. Members who integrate Stelo with Oura will see their daily glucose readings in the context of their meals, sleep, stress, and activity through a new Glucose feature in the Oura App.
Within the Glucose feature in the Oura App, contextual graphs and insights from Oura Advisor help members understand the interplay between meals, stress, daily movement, tags, and glucose so members can learn lifestyle habits that help them maintain or achieve optimal glucose levels. The feature will also provide a new key metric, “Time Above Range,” which tracks how long glucose stays above the target range and provides an AI-powered analysis of glucose trends for that day.
After testing and feedback in Oura Labs, the company's innovation hub, Meals has transitioned to a permanent feature in the Oura App. By taking a picture, members can quickly log their food and see how effectively their meals and snacks fuel them through AI-powered food recognition and comprehensive nutrition analysis. The feature focuses on macronutrients and is designed to help members better understand how their dietary choices affect their health.
When members take or upload photos of their meals in the Oura App, ĹŚURA analyzes the dish to provide an immediate overview of its contents. Once analyzed, Oura Advisor provides guidance and feedback on nutritional choices so members can learn how to build satiating, nutrient-dense meals to avoid energy slumps and cravings.
Meals also includes a Nutrition Breakdown component, which categorizes key nutritional elements like protein, fiber, processing level, added sugars, total fats, and total carbs to provide an informational, at-a-glance summary. Oura’s guidance avoids penalizing food choices, instead presenting non-judgmental insights that help members make informed choices based on their health objectives, whether that’s improving energy levels, maintaining metabolic health, or enhancing dietary balance.
