Oura Adds Two New AI Features That Track Your Meals and Glucose Intake

The glucose tracking won’t work unless you purchase an accompanying $99 pack of biosensors.

Two new AI-driven features are now permanent additions to the Oura app, expanding the capabilities of the company’s smart ring. They’re powered by an in-house large language model called Oura Advisor. One new feature tracks a user’s meals, with the help of photos, and the other tracks the user’s glucose intake. There’s no exact release date for these new features.

The meals feature allows users to take photographs of their food to log meals, rather than type in each component and its caloric content. Oura’s AI model will identify the pictured foods and provide dietary guidance and feedback.

The meals feature also provides a nutritional breakdown of pictured foods so that users are able to get an at-a-glance summary of the total protein, fiber, sugars, fats and carbs they’ve consumed. The ring can make recommendations for the user’s next meal based on health objectives.

The other new AI-driven feature is glucose tracking, but you can’t use it without buying a $99 two-pack of Stelo glucose biosensors to take advantage of it. Each sensor can be worn for 15 days. Stelo is not for adults who are on insulin or at risk for hypoglycemia.

By linking with the sensor, which is worn on the back of a user’s arm, the Oura app will provide 24/7 glucose tracking. The app will contextualize that tracking alongside mealtimes, sleep, stress and other activities that can raise or lower your blood sugar.

Oura Advisor pulls together data from the new AI features alongside other Oura app information to provide sleep, readiness and activity recommendations.

There’s no extra charge for the new features, beyond the glucose sensor. They work on both iOS and Android devices. Both features will launch at the same time in the United States, while the meals feature will launch internationally later this year.
