Smart ring maker Ōura has acquired Galen AI in a bid to bridge clinical care and connected, personalised health technology.

Founded in 2025 by Stanford computer science graduates, Galen AI is an AI-powered personal health companion that brings together medical records, labs, medications and wearable data into one secure, unified platform.

“As we shape the next era of Ōura, we’re investing in world-class talent to help us push the boundaries of what AI can do for personal health,” said Tom Hale, CEO of Ōura. “Galen AI’s founders bring a rare combination of health domain knowledge, AI expertise and product vision, strengthening our ability to deliver more personalised, more meaningful health insights to more people.”

Most people still experience their health information in silos: test results in one portal, visit notes in another, prescriptions in a third and day-to-day patterns captured by wearables. That fragmentation makes it harder to see the full picture, understand what’s changing or know what to do next. Solving that problem requires not just technology, but people who deeply understand the issue.

By bringing Galen AI’s team and their AI infrastructure into Ōura, the company is accelerating its ability to connect those dots. The team’s experience unifying longitudinal health data across tens of thousands of healthcare systems and labs and developing AI-powered insights at the intersection of various modalities of health data should help Ōura continue to design experiences where clinical data and continuous biometric signals work together, creating clearer, more contextual health insights for Ōura members.

“We started Galen AI to help people make sense of fragmented health data and turn them into meaningful, everyday action,” said Viraj Mehta, co-founder of Galen AI. “From the outset, we saw an opportunity to make complex health information more accessible, personal and useful.”

Priyanka Shrestha, co-founder of Galen AI, added: “Joining Ōura allows us to bring that work to scale with a team that shares our commitment to clinical rigour and privacy. We’re excited to work together to shape the next generation of proactive, AI-powered health experiences.”

This acquisition builds on a period of strong momentum for Ōura’s AI strategy. Over the past decade, it has developed AI‑powered physiological models that help members understand their sleep, recovery and overall health, and layered in additional AI-driven support through Ōura Advisor (ouraring.com/blog/oura-advisor/) to help contextualise the data being surfaced.

Recently, Ōura (ouraring.com) also introduced its first proprietary AI model focused on women’s health, designed to deliver individualised, clinically grounded guidance around cycles, symptoms and key life stages. Oura also recently welcomed the Doublepoint team (iotm2mcouncil.org/iot-library/news/connected-health-news/oura-acquires-doublepoint-to-add-gesture-recognition/), expanding its bench of specialised AI talent.

Bringing the Galen AI (www.galenai.com) team on board strengthens this foundation, pairing expertise in health data integrations with Ōura’s strengths in continuous sensing and AI-driven insights. Together, the teams are building a health AI organisation focused on designing a future in which health information can be understood in richer context, with safety, trust and clinical rigour at the centre.
