SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- ŌURA, a leading health intelligence platform and maker of the world's smallest smart ring, has joined Workday Wellness, an AI-powered platform that helps employers understand which benefits their employees actually use and want. This partnership allows employers to share the cost of Oura Ring with their teams, making it a more flexible and cost-effective benefit option.
Through the integration, Oura Ring will appear as a benefit option within Workday Wellness. Employers can choose to fully fund the Oura Ring for their entire workforce, subsidize part of the cost, offer a discount, or make it available for employees to purchase on their own with payroll deductions. This flexibility is designed to help employers invest in benefits that their people will actually use, addressing issues like burnout, presenteeism, and declining productivity.
Dor Kilroy, Chief Commercial Officer at Oura, emphasized the importance of offering benefits that employees will engage with.
Oura Ring 5, which will be available to eligible employers through Workday Wellness later this year, is designed to continuously monitor and flag changes in nighttime breathing, blood pressure, and respiratory patterns. This helps employees stay ahead of potential health issues. The ring supports whole-person health across six pillars: sleep, stress, heart, metabolic, women's health, and activity.
According to Oura, more than 1,200 organizations already offer Oura Ring to their employees. Among Oura's paying members, 80% renew after one year, and 80% open the Oura App five or more days a week. These members also report significant improvements in their health, with a 90% improvement in overall health, 81% improvement in stress management, and 79% improvement in productivity.
Oura Ring 5 is purpose-built to leverage the finger's unique physiological advantages for photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement, producing a stronger signal than wrist-based wearables. The ring tracks 50+ health metrics continuously, empowering both individuals and thousands of research teams, healthcare providers, sports teams, and organizations.
Founded in Finland in 2013, Oura is headquartered in San Francisco with E.U. headquarters in Oulu, Finland. The company is committed to advancing the future of preventative health with privacy and security at the forefront.
