⚡️Oura plans to spend 625000000 USD to acquire AI healthcare startup Counsel Health
BlockBeats news, November 11, according to Bloomberg, smart ring manufacturer Oura has agreed to acquire Counsel Health, which provides AI health consultations and on-demand medical consultation services, for 625000000 USD. This is Oura's largest acquisition to date, aimed at extending its business from health monitoring to medical services.
Oura also announced that revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30 grew 153% to 533000000 USD, with adjusted EBITDA of 87000000 USD and a margin of 16%. Fiscal 2026 revenue was approximately 1750000000 USD, up 92% year over year. Oura had originally planned to go public at the end of September but postponed it due to market uncertainty. Chief Executive Officer Tom Hale said there is currently no update on whether to restart the listing plan or on a specific timeline.
Counsel Health was integrated into the Oura app in June and can combine data collected by the smart ring and other medical information to answer users' health questions with AI; users who need a formal diagnosis can contact a doctor. Oura plans to use this acquisition to help users obtain medical consultations when physiological indicators are abnormal and to provide support for users with ongoing health issues. Counsel Health Chief Executive Officer Muthu Alagappan will become Oura's Chief Clinical AI Officer, and the company's 70 employees will also join Oura.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The plan for this deal is to connect the health monitoring provided by the ring with medical consultations: after users detect abnormal physiological indicators, they can obtain consultations; users with ongoing health issues can also receive support. The original text distinguishes between AI answering health questions and doctors providing formal diagnoses, and only reports that the acquisition has been agreed upon, without confirming that the transaction has been completed.
Why it matters to readers
This is Oura's largest acquisition to date, reflecting its plan to expand from recording health metrics to providing medical services. The report also disclosed information on revenue growth and the postponement of its listing.
When reading, one should distinguish between acquisition agreements and transaction completion, between AI health Q&A and formal diagnosis, and between revenue and adjusted EBITDA; these should not be regarded as the same thing.
Risks and unknowns
The original text does not confirm that the transaction has been completed, nor does it specify the completion time and related conditions.
The effectiveness of the post-acquisition integration and the actual results of the medical service plan have not yet been proven.
Whether to restart the listing and the specific timing currently have no updates.
