Oura eyes nutrition as next 'pillar'
Oura takes the data gathered by the ring to provide insight to its users, focused on a person's levels of sleep, activity and readiness to take on the day.
Hale said the company is now testing out nutrition, with users able to take a picture of their meal and log it into the Oura app. Also in the nutrition space, he highlighted Oura's recent acquisition of Veri, a metabolic health startup that can take data from continuous glucose monitors — small devices inserted into a person's arm — to give insight into someone's blood sugar levels. Hale says that this, combined with Oura's food tracking feature, could tell a user how certain meals affect their glucose levels.
