"Doublepoint's tech helps devices understand small hand movements, so interactions feel faster and more natural across different interfaces. When layered on top of Oura's continuous sensing and insights, it enables the creation of new kinds of quiet, helpful features that work in the background and make everyday life a little easier."
"The company believes its next phase of wearable AI will be powered by a combination of voice and gestures, and that its acquisition of Doublepoint will accelerate its vision to power more ambient AI experiences."
"As we continue to build the next era of Oura, strategic acquisitions play a key role in accelerating our growth and expanding what our devices and platform can do. Welcoming the Doublepoint team into Oura strengthens our ability to deliver on this vision."
Oura has acquired Doublepoint, a startup specializing in AI-powered gesture recognition technology that enables wearable device control through natural hand movements and biometric data. This acquisition allows Oura to incorporate gesture controls into its smart rings, creating more intuitive and seamless user interactions. Doublepoint's technology recognizes small hand movements, enabling faster and more natural device interactions. Combined with Oura's continuous sensing capabilities, this integration will power ambient AI features that operate in the background. The acquisition includes Doublepoint's team of AI architects and founders from Helsinki. Oura's smart ring market has experienced significant growth, with 5.5 million rings sold to date and projected 2026 sales exceeding $1.5 billion. The broader smart ring market saw 51% shipment growth in 2025, with Oura leading the category.
