Ōura Integrates AI and Dexcom Glucose Data to Revolutionize Metabolic Health Tracking
Ōura’s smart ring now integrates AI-powered meal tracking and continuous glucose monitoring through Dexcom’s FDA-cleared Stelo biosensor. This innovation offers personalized metabolic health insights by combining nutrition, glucose, sleep, stress, and activity data. It empowers users to understand how lifestyle factors influence their wellbeing and supports proactive metabolic health management with actionable guidance.
Ōura, renowned for its health-monitoring smart ring, has announced a groundbreaking integration of AI to track and analyze two critical metabolic health features: meals and glucose levels. This advancement leverages data from Stelo by Dexcom, the first FDA-cleared glucose biosensor available without a prescription in the U.S., directly integrated into the Ōura App. By combining comprehensive biometric tracking with AI-driven insights, Ōura aims to provide users with personalized, actionable guidance to optimize their metabolic health.
Metabolic health is foundational to overall vitality, influencing energy, mood, and long-term disease risk. With the rise of conditions like Type 2 diabetes and obesity affecting hundreds of millions globally, proactive metabolic management is more important than ever. Ōura’s new features address this need by integrating meal insights and continuous glucose monitoring with existing data on sleep, stress, and activity, offering a holistic view of health.
AI-Powered Meal Tracking
Ōura’s Meals feature allows users to log food intake simply by taking pictures, which are then analyzed by AI to provide detailed macronutrient and nutrition breakdowns. Unlike traditional calorie-focused apps, this approach emphasizes understanding how different foods affect energy and metabolic balance. The AI-driven Ōura Advisor offers non-judgmental, personalized feedback to help users build nutrient-dense meals that support sustained energy and metabolic health.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Integration
Through a strategic partnership with Dexcom, Ōura members can now integrate Stelo, a small, FDA-cleared glucose biosensor worn on the upper arm, to receive continuous glucose readings. This integration enables users to see how their glucose levels respond to meals, activity, sleep, and stress within the Ōura App. The Glucose feature includes AI-powered analysis such as “Time Above Range,” helping users understand glucose trends and make informed lifestyle adjustments.
- FDA-cleared, prescription-free glucose biosensor integration
