Building on its mission to deliver meaningful, human‑centered innovation and expand what’s possible with wearable technology, Oura is acquiring Doublepoint. Founded in 2020, Doublepoint is a privately held Helsinki‑based company that specializes in AI‑driven, biometric, gesture recognition technology that enables people to control devices with simple, natural movements.
The acquisition will strengthen Oura’s long-term innovation roadmap, supporting future offerings while advancing more intuitive ways for people to interact with technology in their everyday lives.
With this acquisition, Oura is gaining an exceptional team of AI architects and builders from Doublepoint, including its four founders. This team pioneered biometrics-based interaction for next-generation computing platforms, and they will be central to designing and shipping the AI-led experiences that will define Oura’s future. The team will be primarily based in Helsinki, working closely with Oura teams around the world.
“As we continue to build the next era of Oura, strategic acquisitions play a key role in accelerating our growth and expanding what our devices and platform can do,” said Tom Hale, CEO of ŌURA. “Welcoming the Doublepoint team into Oura strengthens our bench with world-class talent, reinforces our long-term commitment to growing in Finland, and helps us move even faster to deliver intuitive, human-first experiences for our members across devices, services, and environments.”
Building more intuitive, human-centered experiences
Doublepoint’s tech helps devices understand small hand movements, so interactions feel faster and more natural across different interfaces. When layered on top of Oura’s continuous sensing and insights, it enables the creation of new kinds of quiet, helpful features that work in the background and make everyday life a little easier.
“From the beginning, Doublepoint has focused on building gesture-recognition technology that feels effortless and human,” said Ohto Pentikäinen, Doublepoint co-founder and CEO. “Oura has proven that people are eager for technology that helps them better understand themselves without adding friction to their lives. Joining forces with Oura will allow us to bring our capabilities to a much broader audience and accelerate a shared vision for more personal, adaptive, and responsive computing experiences.”
Expanding Oura’s platform for a ‘wearable AI’ future
With more than a decade of experience in AI-powered physiological modeling and personalized insights, Oura is building on its foundation in sleep, recovery, and overall health while expanding into new categories and use cases through this acquisition. Oura believes the next phase of wearable AI will be powered by a combination of voice and gestures, and Doublepoint’s expertise in AI, biometrics, and human–computer interaction both complements Oura’s work in preventative health and accelerates its ability to power a broader ecosystem of ambient, privacy-first AI experiences. Together, this will help people navigate their health, environment, and everyday interactions in a more natural and intuitive way.
Continued momentum for ŌURA
Oura is thoughtfully building the best team possible to expand innovation in wearables. This marks its fourth strategic acquisition, underscoring a commitment to thoughtful, long-term innovation. Previous acquisitions include Sparta Science, Veri (also founded in Helsinki), and Proxy, which have all enriched the technology and user experience of Oura Ring.
This news follows a strong period of growth at Oura; the company was most recently valued at approximately $11 billion and is continuing to scale our member base having sold more than 5.5 million rings.
