Oura, Maven Clinic team up to bring biometric data into clinical care

Oura, Maven Clinic team up to bring biometric data into clinical care

CNBC18-06-2025

Women's and family health platform Maven Clinic is partnering with smart ring maker Oura, a step forward in the integration of the increasing amount of data being collected by wearable devices and clinical care.
As part of the partnership, eligible Maven members will be able to sync the data that their Oura Ring collects with the Maven platform, allowing members of the Maven care team to comb over the Oura-collected data like sleep, stress and activity to provide enhanced health guidance.
Maven Clinic, a three-time CNBC Disruptor 50 company, is the largest virtual clinic for women's and family health with more than 2,000 employers and health plans using its platform. The company, which raised a $125 million funding round valuing it at $1.7 billion in October 2024, offers programs that range from fertility and family building to maternity and newborn care to menopause and midlife health.
Kate Ryder, CEO and founder of Maven Clinic, said that we're in a "reinvigorated era of consumer health," a period that is being defined by the amount of data being collected via wearables and the desire of people to use those diagnostics to seek treatment and advice.
Ryder said that a recent survey of Maven Clinic members found that nearly three out of four members are tracking their health regularly with some sort of device, and consumers are asking, "How do I take my health into my own hands with all these tools and areas of wellness at my fingertips to try to live a healthier life?"
That shift prompted Maven's new partnership with Oura, also a three-time Disruptor 50 company, which was ranked No. 23 on the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 list and has been on its own path of wellness and preventive health via its eponymous Ring in recent years.
While Oura's initial focus centered on tracking sleep and recovery metrics, its scope has widened significantly in recent years to broader healthcare and personal health issues. As Oura CEO Tom Hale said in a recent CNBC interview, "the vision for the future of Oura has to do with the doctor in your pocket."
That includes a wide variety of metrics, features and health indicators tracked by the Oura Ring and parsed by the company's AI and analytics to offer wearers' health insights, including a variety of female-focused features around menstrual, period and pregnancy cycles.
"One of our key theses is that women have been overlooked in science, and in health understudied and overlooked, but we believe that they expect the same level of personalization, transparency and immediacy from their healthcare," said Oura chief commercial officer Dorothy Kilroy. "This is what they want, and traditional healthcare hasn't really kept up with that for women and their families."
Kilroy said that the partnership between the two companies aims to deliver that, offering "smart, connected personalized care that'll fit into their lives and not the other way around, which is kind of what the old healthcare systems have provided."
The ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes through the utilization of the data collected by the Oura Ring, allowing for more personalized recommendations, the ability to catch issues sooner and be more proactive, and layering in expert medical care at critical points.
"Tracking is the first step, but really it's not just about surfacing health data," Ryder said, noting that Maven Clinic is the first virtual care platform to turn Oura's health signals into expert care. "We really want to act on it to actually drive better outcomes."
One example of how the data could be utilized would be in the case of a pregnant Maven member diagnosed with gestational diabetes. That person could work with a Maven nutritionist or support coach to help regulate their glucose levels, while using Oura's physical activity tracking and meals and glucose features to monitor their progress.
Oura is increasingly working with a variety of partners in the healthcare sector to use the biometric data collected by its Rings, Kilroy said, allowing it to be "paired with clinical care and creating that kind of seamless experience where the members can both understand what's going on in their body but they can actually use that to get expert care all in one place."
Ryder said that she sees the convergence of this sort of biometric tracking and the clinical side as leading towards much more effective preventative care, leading to "much better outcomes," especially among high-risk patients where this sort of reporting and engagement can result in significant improvements in health.
Maven Clinic will start to integrate the Oura data into its platform starting later this summer, with a goal of having it reach all members who want to opt in by the winter. Maven members will also receive exclusive pricing on the purchase of an Oura Ring.
"We have to shift our healthcare system into prevention and invest more in wellness and wellbeing," Ryder said. "There's a lot of exciting stuff that this partnership can do to take the step forward, be innovative and show the outcomes on the back end."

Your Ring Video Doorbell Just Got Smarter With An AI Boost

(Photo by) After dipping its toes into AI with the launch of its Smart Video Search last year, Ring is diving deeper into generative AI, with a new feature called Video Descriptions, which has just started to roll out. The idea is that, instead of cryptic motion alerts like 'Person detected,' Ring cams and doorbells can now tell you exactly what's going on. So you'll get alerts like: 'A person with a bike has been seen,' or 'A man with tools is in the kitchen.' The new feature began rolling out earlier this week in beta for Ring Home Premium subscribers in the US and Canada, and it works across all current Ring doorbells and cameras. It's powered by generative AI, so it's not the object/person detection that's already been around for years. It's part of a broader plan to shift more of the day-to-day monitoring from humans to machine smarts. The result should be more helpful alerts, and fewer wasted taps. If your phone buzzes and the notification reads 'Someone is looking into a black car in the driveway,' you're probably going to check that. If it says, 'a person is walking up the steps with a black dog,' maybe not. Especially if it's your neighbor Steve. With his dog. Again. Ring's latest AI feature provides detailed text alerts These descriptions are designed to be short and focused, no essay-length breakdowns of what's happening in the frame. According to Ring founder Jamie Siminoff, who recently rejoined the team at the Amazon-owned brand, the AI will only describe the main subject that triggered the motion, and what they're doing. Siminoff wrote, on a blog post, that Ring is also working on anomaly alerts that learn what's normal for your home and only ping you when something feels off, like someone lurking in the garden at 3am, or your dog suddenly going rogue on the living room decor. There's also mention of combining multiple motion events into a single alert, which could finally reduce those alert avalanches when someone walks around the side of your house and sets off every camera in sequence. Ring isn't the only one leaning on AI to cut through notification noise when it comes to security cam alerts; Arlo has its own take, dubbed Event Captions and Wyze launched Descriptive Alerts earlier this year. Eufy and Swann also have AI features as part of their smart security camera arsenal now too. There's no facial recognition as of yet for Ring's latest AI assault, so the descriptions won't be too personal for now, but it's not hard to imagine a future whereby this sort of tech teams up with Alexa+ to offer advanced AI routines such as locking a door if a stranger approaches or turning on the garage light if it sees your kid arriving home on their bike. As mentioned, you'll need the $19.99/month Ring Home Premium plan to try it out - you just need to enable it in the Ring app. We're told that more features will be added in the coming months but remember, this is still in beta, so there may be some teething issues.
