What is an Oura ring?
The Oura ring is a sleep and activity tracker ring that links to a mobile app, which allows users to monitor their health. Oura Health, the company behind the ring, was set up in 2013 in Finland by founders Kari Kivela, Markku Koskela and Petteri Lahtela.
The company launched the first version of the ring in 2015 and released the second edition in 2018. The Oura ring is one of many smart rings currently on the market. Other popular sleep tracking rings include Motiv and Go2Sleep.

Where to buy the Oura ring
The smart ring, which is currently priced at $299, is available to buy on the Oura website as well as a number of partner sites. Buyers in Canada can purchase the ring from retail site Indigo, while US customers can visit Oura partner Goop‘s website to buy the smart ring.
Oura co-founder Petteri Lahtela has talked about manufacturing the ring and keeping up with orders on the company’s website.
In an interview with the Nordic Business Review, he explained: “I honestly don’t think many people believed we could manage sales solely through our own website.
“In fact, since we started selling the first-generation Oura rings, we have mostly been limited by supply and scaling up manufacturing.”
