Finland-based health tracking ring maker Oura announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire fellow Finnish company Veri, which offers personalized metabolic health programs.

总部位于芬兰的健康追踪戒指制造商Oura宣布，已与芬兰同行Veri公司达成协议，该公司提供个性化代谢健康计划。

Veri uses the FDA-cleared Abbott FreeStyle Libre 1, 2, and 3 sensors to monitor a user's metabolic health by collecting data from their body. An app enabled by continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) then guides the user on improving diet, habits, and health.

Veri使用FDA批准的Abbott FreeStyle Libre 1、2和3传感器，通过收集用户体内的数据来监测用户的代谢健康。由连续血糖监测仪（CGMs）启用的应用程序可以指导用户改善饮食、习惯和健康。

Oura will integrate Veri's metabolic health offering this fall by introducing Meals, a new feature that will allow members to track the timing of their meals to understand how their sleep, stress and recovery are impacted by when they eat.

Oura将在今年秋天通过引入膳食来整合Veri的代谢健康服务，这一新功能将允许会员跟踪他们的膳食时间，以了解他们的睡眠，压力和恢复是如何受到饮食的影响的。

Meals will be available in the opt-in section of the company's Oura Labs app, which allows wearers to test features in development and give feedback.

该公司的Oura Labs应用程序的“选择加入”部分将提供膳食，佩戴者可以在开发过程中测试功能并给出反馈。

Many of Veri's workforce will join Oura, including its three founders, who will become employees of the ring maker.

Veri的许多员工将加入Oura，包括其三位创始人，他们将成为这家戒指制造商的员工。

'Our strategy is to be a personal health companion, and to do that, we will continue to add new dimensions, as we’ve done with Heart Health and Women’s Health, to the Oura experience. Metabolic health is the next natural dimension of that experience, and Veri is a key part of unlocking that dimension,' Tom Hale, Oura CEO, told MobiHealthNews in an email. .

“我们的战略是成为个人健康伴侣，为此，我们将继续为我们的经验增加新的层面，就像我们在心脏健康和女性健康方面所做的那样。Oura首席执行官汤姆·黑尔（TomHale）在一封电子邮件中告诉MobiHealthNews，代谢健康是这种体验的下一个自然维度，而Veri是解开这一维度的关键部分。。

'Today, the Oura Ring is a standalone product, but we see a world where the product experience includes other health data inputs and sensors, such as CGMs, factoring into the data and insights presented within the Oura App. The expertise of Veri’s employees will help accelerate this vision, strengthening our product and opening up new avenues for metabolic health offerings.'.

“今天，Oura Ring是一个独立的产品，但我们看到的世界是，产品体验包括其他健康数据输入和传感器，例如CGM，并将其分解为Oura应用程序中提供的数据和见解。Veri员工的专业知识将有助于加速这一愿景，加强我们的产品，并为代谢健康产品开辟新途径。”。

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

Last week, the FDA issued a recall of certain FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors, a component within the FreeStyle Libre 3 CGM system, due to the risk of inaccurate high glucose readings.

上周，由于血糖读数不准确的风险，FDA召回了FreeStyle Libre 3 CGM系统中的某些FreeStyle Libre 3传感器。

The FDA's statement reads, 'The use of affected products may cause serious adverse health consequences, including severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can cause central nervous system problems, loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, permanent brain damage, and death.

FDA的声明写道，“使用受影响的产品可能会导致严重的不良健康后果，包括严重的低血糖（低血糖），这可能导致中枢神经系统问题、意识丧失、癫痫发作、昏迷、永久性脑损伤和死亡。

Two injuries have been reported, with no reports of death.

据报道有两人受伤，没有死亡报告。

Oura debuted on Kickstarter in 2015 and has since garnered a great deal of funding.

Oura于2015年在Kickstarter上首次亮相，此后获得了大量资金。

In 2021, the company secured $100 million in a Series C round, and in 2022, it announced it reached a valuation of $2.55 billion. At the time, a spokesperson told MobiHealthNews that it had raised an 'oversubscribed' funding round but did not release further details on the amount raised.

2021年，该公司在C轮融资中获得1亿美元，2022年，该公司宣布估值达到25.5亿美元。当时，一位发言人告诉MobiHealthNews，它已经筹集了一轮“超额认购”的资金，但没有公布筹集金额的进一步细节。

In 2022, The company launched Oura for Business, which supplies individuals with personalized insights while providing customized tools and recommendations for leaders based on group data.

2022年，该公司推出了Oura for Business，为个人提供个性化见解，同时根据集团数据为领导者提供定制工具和建议。

Last year, the wearables company acquired digital identification startup Proxy in an all-equity deal. Proxy offers digital identity tech that aims to replace keys, cards, badges, apps and passwords, and the startup said it was working to include its offerings on wearable devices as well as phones.

去年，这家可穿戴设备公司通过全股权交易收购了数字识别初创公司Proxy。Proxy提供数字身份技术，旨在取代钥匙、卡片、徽章、应用程序和密码，这家初创公司表示，它正在努力将其产品包括在可穿戴设备和手机上。

Oura also partnered with teletherapy company Talkspace to allow Oura wearers to share their personalized sleep and daily movement data with Talkspace therapists.

Oura还与远程治疗公司Talkspace合作，允许Oura佩戴者与Talkspace治疗师分享他们的个性化睡眠和日常运动数据。

In May, the Finnish company added two heart health monitoring features to its Oura Ring Gen3 wearable: Cardiovascular Age (CVA) and Cardio Capacity.

5月，这家芬兰公司在其Oura Ring Gen3可穿戴设备上增加了两项心脏健康监测功能：心血管年龄（CVA）和有氧运动能力。

The CVA feature uses data from the device to estimate a user's cardiovascular age relative to their actual age. They receive a CVA metric indicating if they are trending below, above or in alignment (within five years) with their chronological age.

CVA功能使用来自设备的数据来估计用户相对于其实际年龄的心血管年龄。。
