    Once you start looking for Oura\u2019s health-tracking rings \u2014 thick, unassuming silver or gold bands \u2014 you see them everywhere. If you were paying attention, you\u2019d also notice that the type of person wearing them has also begun to change.<\/p>\n

    The rings, whose sensors sit around the index finger to collect markers like blood flow and body temperature to monitor and make predictions about the wearer\u2019s health, were adopted early by male members of the tech industry \u2014\u00a0more inclined to obsess over metrics and self-optimization, so the stereotype goes. This data is sent to the Oura app through the wearer\u2019s phone, where they can track biometrics including body temperature, heart rate variability, and where their dashboard and AI-powered health \u201cadvisor\u201d delivers insights and health predictions based on what these metrics say about the wearer\u2019s sleep quality, stress levels and activity. Oura CEO Tom Hale fits this bill; he is wearing a silver version of the device on one hand and a white ceramic iteration on the other during our interview at the Web Summit in Lisbon last week.<\/p>\n

    But Hale is keen to underline how these days, he no longer fits the typical profile of the Oura wearer. Where sleep tracking \u2014\u00a0the Oura ring\u2019s initial pull \u2014\u00a0was what Hale calls \u201cthe Trojan horse\u201d for the business, due to the clarity of biometric data that can be collected over the long stretch that the wearer is asleep, he credits Oura\u2019s rapid sales acceleration over the last two years to its expansion into women\u2019s health features and its adoption among younger consumers. Hale, in particular, saw an opportunity to capitalize on our current culture\u2019s growing obsession with wellness.<\/p>\n
