“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 vice president of strategy and corporate development at Dexcom. “Partnering with ?URA 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.”

With this partnership, Dexcom and ?URA will launch integrations enabling data to flow between Dexcom and ?URA products, including Dexcom glucose biosensors, Dexcom apps, Oura Ring and the Oura App, so shared users can track their glucose levels and understand the impact of behaviors and biology on their metabolic health. The companies will also 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 Oura Members have expressed interest in understanding how the food they eat impacts their health,” said Tom Hale, ?URA chief executive officer. “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, ?URA 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.”

Dexcom has been the pioneer in glucose biosensing for 25 years, with a long list of first-in-market innovations. Most recently, Dexcom led the creation of a new category by launching Stelo, the first glucose biosensor cleared for use without a prescription1 in the U.S. More than 2.5 million active users across the globe rely on Dexcom’s life-changing portfolio of glucose biosensors to take control of their health.

This year has marked a significant acceleration of ?URA’s business, including its metabolic health roadmap. Earlier this year, ?URA announced that it has sold 2.5 million rings, expects to see annual sales double in 2024 to roughly $500 million and is profitable. ?URA also introduced a new feature, Meals, to Oura Labs (an opt-in innovation hub within the Oura App that allows members to test features in development and provide feedback) that enables tracking meal timing and maps that timing to their chronotype to understand how, what and when we eat can impact health metrics like sleep, stress and recovery.

Eighty-eight percent of Americans are not in optimal metabolic health,2 which comes with increased risk of developing co-morbid conditions like diabetes, heart disease, stroke or all three.3 Strategic partnerships that combine medical-grade technology with advanced software are driving forward the consumerization of healthcare, allowing consumers to drive their health journeys and empowering them with their own health information. Dexcom and ?URA plan to meet a need that will change the healthcare landscape going forward.
