At-home hormone tracking company Mira is partnering with ring maker Oura to connect hormone data with wellness data.
Mira offers at-home tests, including a finger-prick test to measure hormones, menopause transition kits, fertility lab tests, a perimenopause lab test and multivitamins.
Oura Ring users can track their sleep, temperature trends and readiness in accompaniment with hormone data in the Mira app. The companies say the data can help an individual track how hormonal changes affect sleep, function throughout the day and feelings.
The data will also aim to give individuals patterns, such as whether sleep distribution affects hormonal imbalances, and can be used to identify patterns during perimenopause and menopause, as well as during fertility and menstrual cycles.
“More women than ever track health metrics like sleep, stress, activity, strain, but rarely have the tools to see the real reasons behind their symptoms," Sylvia Kang, CEO and founder of Mira, said in a statement. "With this integration, we're connecting hormone data with daily health signals, giving women insights they can act on. Understanding these patterns can change how women manage fertility, navigate perimenopause, or address hormonal imbalances."
THE LARGER TREND
Oura has partnered with several women's digital health companies.
Last year, Oura announced a partnership with Maven Clinic, a New York-based virtual women's health provider, to allow Oura Ring wearers to sync their data with the digital reproductive health and family platform.
Through the partnership, Maven Clinic's care teams will have access to Oura Ring wearers' biometric data on sleep, stress and activity.
Oura also announced a partnership with publicly traded employer-focused fertility and family-building company Progyny to incorporate Oura's wearable data and insights into the Progyny care team's decision-support process.
In 2023, the femtech company Clue, which offers an app focused on menstrual cycle tracking and reproductive health, announced that the Oura Ring could be paired with the Clue app on iOS to enable temperature trend tracking throughout one's menstrual cycle.
A year before, Oura partnered with birth control app Natural Cycles to use its wearable to monitor body temperature changes.
Users will be able to sync temperature data from the Oura Ring into the Natural Cycles app, eliminating the need to take their temperature manually each morning. Natural Cycles, which received FDA De Novo clearance in 2018, uses temperature data and menstrual cycle information to determine a user's fertile window and prevent pregnancy.
