SAN DIEGO & SAN FRANCISCO—Dexcom Inc., a glucose biosensing technology company, and Ōura, a personalized health data company and creator of the sleep- and health-tracking Ōura Ring, announced a partnership that aims to improve customers’ metabolic health through the integration of Dexcom’s glucose data with the health data provided by the Ōura Ring. Additionally, Dexcom made a $75 million investment in Ōura Series D funding.
“Dexcom offers the most accurate glucose biosensing systems on the market that help reveal the impact of daily lifestyle choices on glucose levels and enable our users to make informed decisions about their health and overall well-being,” said Matt Dolan, executive VP of strategy and corporate development at Dexcom. “Partnering with Ōura gives us the opportunity to redefine the category again, integrating data from Dexcom glucose biosensors with the continuous insights and metrics measured by Oura Ring. This powerful combination will attract new shared customers who want to better understand the link between activity, sleep, nutrition and their glucose.”
The companies plan to integrate the Dexcom glucose biosensors, Dexcom apps, Ōura Ring and Ōura app in an effort to provide users of both products with better tracking of glucose levels and overall health data. Additionally, the companies said they plan to co-market and cross-sell each other’s products. The first app integration resulting from the partnership is expected to launch in the first half of 2025.
“Ninety-seven percent of Ōura members have expressed interest in understanding how the food they eat impacts their health,” said Tom Hale, CEO of Ōura. “This partnership with Dexcom will enable us to empower our members to make informed decisions and adjust behaviors to positively impact their biometrics and long-term health. Working together, Ōura and Dexcom will help members decide what and when to eat by surfacing correlations between activities like sleep and exercise and members’ glucose levels. And because we know that people are affected differently by the same foods and activities, guidance and insights will be personalized.”
