Oura is acquiring medical AI chatbot startup Counsel Health

Oura has agreed to acquire Counsel Health, a medical AI chatbot startup, for $625 million. The acquisition is part of Oura's plan to connect wearables, clinical AI, and access to doctors based on insights from biometric data. Counsel Health's AI chatbot can connect Oura users to a real doctor directly from the app and draw on users' biometric data from their wearables in its answers to medical questions. The deal is expected to close before the end of the year.
