Resmed (NYSE: RMD) has partnered with wearables company ŌURA to provide greater patient access to sleep health education and care.
“Sleep is increasingly recognized as a key pillar of long-term health, yet it remains widely underprioritized,” Resmed said in a May 19 news announcement. “Early signs of poor sleep are often dismissed, creating a gap between what people experience and when they seek support or clinical care.”
Resmed also noted the increasing popularity of wearable technology used to track sleep health. Resmed’s sleep survey results showed 16% of adults reported using wearables to track their sleep in 2025. In 2026, that number jumped to 53%.
“Insights from wearable devices, including Oura Ring, can help people better understand their sleep patterns and encourage them to have informed conversations with their healthcare providers to learn more about potential sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA),” Resmed said. “OSA is a chronic condition that disrupts breathing during sleep and often goes undiagnosed. In the U.S., an estimated 80% of people with OSA remain undiagnosed and untreated.”
Consumers whose Oura rings indicate “a higher number of nighttime breathing disturbances” can access Resmed resources, including a sleep assessment, the option to connect with an independent healthcare provider either virtually or in person, and an educational guide.
These resources are available to wearers of Oura Ring Gen3 or Oura Ring 4 with active Oura memberships.
“We’re at an inflection point in how people engage with their sleep health, driven by rising awareness and more accessible technology,” said Carlos Nunez, M.D., chief medical officer for Resmed. “By partnering with ŌURA, we are turning insight into action by guiding people across their sleep health journey and making it easier for them to seek clinical evaluation and care if they have concerns about their sleep.”
“High-quality sleep is one of the strongest foundations for long-term health, yet many people live for years with unrecognized sleep and breathing issues,” said Ricky Bloomfield, M.D., chief medical officer at ŌURA. “By pairing ŌURA’s continuous insights into sleep and nighttime breathing with Resmed’s sleep expertise, we’re giving people clearer tools and education to spot when something might be off and to more easily access care so they can better understand and act on changes in their sleep health.”
