Resmed and ŌURA are partnering to expand access to sleep health education and pathways to care in order to help more people sleep better and improve their health.

Insights from wearable devices like the Oura Ring can help people better understand sleep patterns and encourage them to have informed conversations with healthcare providers to learn more about possible sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a chronic condition that disrupts breathing during sleep and often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

The two companies are teaming up to help close the awareness gap. Oura members with a higher number of nighttime breathing disturbances can connect to trusted sources from Resmed.

Educational resources and a sleep assessment can help patients understand more about sleep health. There’s an option to connect with an independent healthcare provider virtually or in-person to address sleep concern, as well as an informative guide to support discussions with healthcare providers.

“We’re at an inflection point in how people engage with their sleep health, driven by rising awareness and more accessible technology,” said Dr. Carlos Nunez, chief medical officer at Resmed. “By partnering with ŌURA, we are turning insight into action by guiding people across their sleep health journey and making it easier for them to seek clinical evaluation and care if they have concerns about their sleep.”

The duo aims to connect consumer-generated wellness insights with Resmed’s sleep health resources, helping Oura members take a more informed next step to better understand their sleep health.

“High-quality sleep is one of the strongest foundations for long-term health, yet many people live for years with unrecognized sleep and breathing issues,” said Dr. Ricky Bloomfield, chief medical officer at Oura. “By pairing Oura’s continuous insights into sleep and nighttime breathing with Resmed’s sleep expertise, we’re giving people clearer tools and education to spot when something might be off and to more easily access care so they can better understand and act on changes in their sleep health.”

In February Resmed launched the AirTouch F30i Comfort mask in the U.S., a new CPAP full face mask.
