Oura wants doctors in the loop with $625 million Counsel Health deal

Oura has agreed to buy virtual primary care company Counsel Health for $625 million in cash, aiming to connect its biometric data with a care platform and on-demand physicians. Counsel pairs an AI-enabled chat interface with licensed, board-certified doctors. Oura expects closing before the end of 2026. That’s a timetable for the deal, not a promise of immediate care for ring owners.
