ResMed (ASX:RMD) shares were up almost 2% in recent Wednesday trade after the company said late Tuesday it has partnered with smart ring maker Oura to expand access to sleep health education and pathways to care.
The company said in a statement that insights from wearable devices, including the Oura Ring, can help people better understand their sleep patterns and encourage informed conversations with healthcare providers about potential sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea.
Oura members who experience a higher number of nighttime breathing disturbances can connect to ResMed resources, including educational materials, a sleep assessment, the option to connect with an independent healthcare provider virtually or in-person, and an informative guide to support discussions with their healthcare provider, the company said.
The experience is available to users of Oura Ring Gen3 and Oura Ring 4 with an active Oura Membership in the US, it added.
