Oura CMO: Wearable Health Tracking Is Moving Beyond Checkups

Oura's Chief Medical Officer suggests wearable tech could give people a continuous picture of their health, rather than relying on occasional doctor visits. Dr. Ricky Bloomfield says the constant stream of health data provided to users of wearables, like Oura's smart rings, can improve health outcomes and influence behavior. He explains that the long-term goal is to help spot changes earlier and connect people with care sooner. That shift, he argues, could change how individuals monitor and manage their own well-being between appointments. Bloomfield spoke to Tom Mackenzie on the latest episode of "Bloomberg Tech," discussing the role of wearables in the future of health tracking and preventive care.
