  • One of Apple 's top health execs has left the company to join Oura, maker of some of the best smart ring s for health and fitness tracking, in what could be a seismic shift in the industry and a signpost to the future of health wearables. Oura has just announced that Apple's Ricky Bloomfield, MD, will join the company as its chief medical officer.

The article from TechRadar discusses the departure of Apple's Senior Director of Health, Michael "Dr. Mikey" O'Reilly, to join Oura, a company known for its smart ring technology. This move has sparked speculation about the future of wearable health technology, particularly smart rings.

The article highlights how smart rings could potentially offer similar health insights as smartwatches but with the advantage of being more comfortable for continuous wear, especially during sleep. This shift is seen as an endorsement of smart rings' potential to become a significant player in the health tech market, possibly influencing future trends in wearable technology.
