Krissy Vann | Host, All Things Fitness and Wellness
Oura has acquired Sparta Science to strengthen its capabilities in population health insights and better support enterprise clients. This move aims to expand Oura's B2B platform, Oura Teams, by integrating Sparta Science’s Trinsic data platform, which improves data collection, analysis, and reporting for enterprise, healthcare, and government users.
With this integration, Oura Teams can combine data from Oura Rings with third-party sources, offering tailored solutions that fit seamlessly with systems like athlete management and medical records platforms. This update will help Oura’s enterprise customers monitor health metrics, identify trends, and enhance scheduling, resource allocation, and safety protocols.
Dorothy Kilroy, Oura’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, *"By joining forces with Sparta Science, Oura is reinforcing its commitment to solving health challenges at scale. Our partnership will provide tools for enterprise and government clients that support proactive health management, such as optimizing schedules for service members and enabling early illness detection."* Sparta Science’s force plate customers will continue to receive support, although production will end in 2024.
This acquisition caps a period of significant growth for Oura, which recently launched its fourth-generation Oura Ring and surpassed 2.5 million sales. In the past two years, Oura has also acquired Proxy and Veri, solidifying its position in fitness technology with solutions that enhance both individual and organizational health insights.
In the fitness industry, wearables like the Oura Ring have seen widespread adoption as people increasingly seek personalized health data. This trend reflects a growing interest in data-driven insights to optimize personal health and performance, as well as to support organizations aiming to manage and support the well-being of larger populations.
