Oura exploring how its ring could detect brain hemorrhages after Bill Ackman suggests it could have helped his daughter
Oura is looking into how its ring could be used to detect brain hemorrhages after Bill Ackman suggested it could have helped his daughter.
Bill Ackman expressed regret that his daughter's Oura Ring could not have detected her brain hemorrhage sooner. Oura CEO Tom Hale confirmed that the company is exploring the possibility of adding this feature. Ackman's 26-year-old daughter, Lucy, suffered a brain hemorrhage in February. Data from her Oura Ring indicated that the hemorrhage occurred around 9 a.m., more than 19 hours before she was found unconscious.
Hale stated that he wished they had been able to predict or detect the event. Oura is investigating the potential for the ring to detect such medical events. The Oura Ring, a popular wearable wellness tracker, monitors metrics like heart rate, sleep stages, body temperature, and daily movement, though it is not a medical device.
