Oura announced<\/a> on Tuesday that it\u2019s launching its first proprietary AI model to enable its AI chatbot, Oura Advisor, to deliver personalized insights around women\u2019s health. The company says the\u00a0model\u00a0supports questions spanning the full reproductive health spectrum, from early menstrual cycles through menopause.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new model is rolling out in Oura Labs, the company\u2019s opt-in experimental feature hub within the Oura app.<\/p>\n

Oura says the new model draws on established medical standards, research, and knowledge sources reviewed by its in-house team of board-certified clinicians and women\u2019s health experts. It also integrates biometric signals and long-term trends to deliver personalized guidance.<\/p>\n

As people are increasingly turning to AI chatbots<\/a> for health guidance<\/a>, from cycle changes to perimenopause symptoms, Oura says there is a need for models designed specifically for women. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis custom model is a fundamental shift in how we responsibly deploy AI in health to meet the needs of our members,\u201d said Ricky Bloomfield, MD, chief medical officer at Oura, in a press release. \u201cWomen\u2019s health is too complex\u2014and too often overlooked\u2014to rely on one-size-fits-all systems. By designing a model specifically for women and grounding it in trusted clinical science and real-world biometric data, we\u2019re setting the standard for how responsible intelligence should be built and expanded across more areas of health, pairing rigorous science with the lived, longitudinal data that makes Oura uniquely powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch of the new women\u2019s health AI model comes as Oura Chief Commercial Officer Dorothy Kilroy told TechCrunch<\/a> last October that the company\u2019s fastest-growing user segment isn\u2019t gym rats, it\u2019s women in their early twenties.<\/p>\n

When a user asks Oura Advisor a women\u2019s health question, the chatbot prompts the new model to reference its research and knowledge sources while also analyzing the user\u2019s relevant biometric signals across sleep, activity, cycle, and pregnancy data, as well as stress and more.<\/p>\n

The new model is intentionally designed to be non-dismissive, reassuring, and emotionally supportive, the company notes. However, it\u2019s not designed to be a doctor, as users shouldn\u2019t use the chatbot for a diagnosis or treatment plan. <\/p>\n

Oura says the model is hosted entirely on Oura-controlled infrastructure, and that conversations are never shared or sold. <\/p>\n

Users who want to access the new model can opt into Oura Labs by navigating to the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of the Oura app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oura announced on Tuesday that it\u2019s launching its first proprietary AI model to enable its AI chatbot, Oura…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[2121,220,218,219,61,60,11291,147234,80,3926],"class_list":["post-315270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-womens-health","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-oura","tag-oura-ring","tag-technology","tag-wearables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
