Oura CEO on the Future of Health Intelligence | The BoF Podcast

The boundaries between technology, wellness and luxury are blurring. Wearable technology is no longer just about tracking steps; it has become a sophisticated tool for lifestyle optimisation, personal health intelligence and a subtle statement of identity. Now, there are more devices than ever to help us in this pursuit, and at the cutting edge is Oura. Under the leadership of CEO Tom Hale who joined the company in 2022, Oura has grown from $220 million in annual revenue to $1 billion last year, achieving an $11 billion valuation. Last month, Oura filed for an IPO that could be one of the most significant public market tests for consumer health technology so far. Tom joined BoF founder and CEO Imran Amed on stage in Napa Valley, California during The Business of Beauty Global Forum 2026 to unpack how the company plans to build a "large physiological model" to redefine the future of the global healthcare and wellness landscapes.
