The Oura Ring is helping people track their health data now and understand how we can optimize our health in the future. Tom Hale is the new Chief Executive Officer of ŌURA, the makes of the Oura Ring. With a background in software, Tom became interested in tracking his health and fitness after a health crisis in his own life. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Tom joins hosts Dr. Jessica Shepherd and Dr. Jordan Shlain to discuss how Oura is helping to educate people about their sleep and their health. We discuss how the Oura ring can bridge the gap between patients and doctors by providing baseline data to help their healthcare team equip them with faster, more responsive treatments for an improved quality of life. Listen in as Tom explains how the Oura app is helping people improve their sleep patterns, track their reproductive cycles, and provide better care for their immunocompromised loved ones. Plus, Tom will share his top tips for better sleep. Topics CoveredHow quality sleep impacts every health system in the human bodyHow providers can use the metrics from the Oura app to help their patients improve their livesHow setting your baseline can help your healthcare provider detect future medical conditionsWhy you should set an alarm clock to go to bed instead of to wake upTom walks us through the components and variables that determine your Oura readiness scoreHow a continuously worn medical device can help you manage all stages of your life Connect with Tom HaleTom Hale on LinkedIn Connect with Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Dr. Guatam Gulati & Dr. Jordan ShlainHLTHDr. Shlain on TwitterDr. Shlain on LinkedInDr. Jessica Shepherd MD Dr. Shepherd on Twitter Dr. Gulati on TwitterDr. Gulati on LinkedIn Resources Oura Ring Introductory Quote[
