Oura Launches Innovative AI Model Focused on Women’s Health
Oura has unveiled its inaugural proprietary AI model designed to enhance the capabilities of the Oura Advisor chatbot in delivering tailored insights specifically for women’s health. This new model addresses a comprehensive range of reproductive health topics, from the onset of menstrual cycles to the transition through menopause, marking a significant development in the field of personalized healthcare.
This advanced model will be available in Oura Labs, the company’s experimental feature hub within the app, allowing users to opt-in for exclusive access.
Drawing on established medical standards and extensive research vetted by board-certified clinicians and women’s health specialists, Oura’s AI model merges biometric signals and long-term trends. This combination provides users with personalized health recommendations.
As the reliance on AI chatbots for health-related guidance surges—particularly concerning menstrual cycle changes and perimenopausal experiences—Oura emphasizes the necessity of models specifically crafted for women.
Ricky Bloomfield, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Oura, stated, “This custom model signifies a transformative approach to incorporating AI in health that prioritizes our members’ unique needs. Women’s health is intricate and often neglected. By developing a dedicated model, rooted in validated clinical science and real-world biometric information, we aim to set a new standard for responsible AI in healthcare.”
When users engage with Oura Advisor regarding women’s health, the chatbot utilizes this new model to reference trusted research while concurrently analyzing relevant biometric data, including sleep, activity levels, cycle, pregnancy status, and stress indicators.
Notably, the model is designed to provide non-dismissive, reassuring, and emotionally supportive responses, though it is not a substitute for professional medical advice and should not be used for diagnosis or treatment plans.
Moreover, Oura ensures that this model operates entirely on its secure infrastructure, keeping user conversations private and confidential.
For those interested in exploring this innovative AI model, users can opt into Oura Labs through the app’s dropdown menu located in the upper left corner.
