Oura's CEO wants its smart ring to be the doctor in your pocket
The Oura Ring has gained popularity as a health-tracking wearable that can predict illness, track physical and emotional stress, and provide personalized care recommendations. The company's vision is for the ring to serve as a concierge doctor, providing continuous and preventative care, rather than just tracking basic health metrics. This vision is driven by the CEO's belief that healthcare systems are struggling to provide primary care.

- How will Oura's efforts to integrate its smart ring with healthcare providers and services impact the future of personal health management and disease prevention?
