Oura Expands Women's Health Suite with Birth Control Logging and Clinician Access
May 1, 2026
Oura is expanding its women’s health suite with Hormonal Birth Control, allowing users to log contraception methods (pills, patches, IUDs, implants) and link them to biometric data like body temperature, sleep, and recovery to reveal how hormones influence daily metrics.
A new partnership with Twentyeight Health enables US-based Oura Members to access licensed clinicians through the app for consultations and birth control prescriptions when appropriate.
The feature suite combines biometric data with hormonal variation to provide personalized insights, including opt-in access to clinicians, virtual visits, and data-driven medical discussions.
Both Hormonal Birth Control and Menopause Insights are rolling out globally starting May 6, and are available only on Oura Ring Series 3 and 4, with Ring 4 highlighted as a leading wearable in this space.
Oura emphasizes collaborations with health platforms to strengthen its leadership in women’s health and address gaps in traditional healthcare systems.
Privacy is a focus, with Oura stating it does not sell health data and is pursuing a private AI experience amid broader concerns about menstrual health data post-Dobbs.
The company stresses that its information is educational and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
The announcement was released via BusinessWire on May 1, 2026, highlighting efforts to fill gaps in women’s health data.
A Vida Health partnership aims to help users spot cardiovascular signs and prompt medical visits when needed.
My Health View in the Oura app will enable users to monitor sudden changes and track lifestyle factors like stress to support medical discussions.
These updates follow Cycle Insights expansion and the Blood Pressure Profile study, coming after a mid-April Vida Health partnership to leverage sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate for cardiometabolic care.
The updates reflect a broader trend of integrating hormonal health data into wearables to provide personalized context for sleep, recovery, and daily functioning, signaling a move toward data-driven, personalized health tracking.
