The Short Version
Oura's smart ring can now detect sleep apnea and connect users directly to doctors, targeting a condition affecting nearly a billion undiagnosed people worldwide.
Nearly a billion people have sleep apnea and don't know it, mostly because getting diagnosed requires a sleep clinic, a referral, and enough motivation to follow through on both. Oura's ring now detects the condition and routes you directly to a doctor, cutting out the part where most people do nothing. A wearable that closes that loop on its own is more useful than one that just shows you a scary number and wishes you luck.
