Key takeaways
- Oura is launching a custom LLM designed for women's health.
- Users can test it out in the app through Oura Labs.
- The model will answer questions sourced from clinician-vetted research.
Oura is rolling out a custom women's health model within its personal health chatbot, Oura Advisor, the smart ring company announced on Tuesday. It's an experimental feature through Oura Labs, Oura's testing ground for new features, that will not only take a woman's biometric data into account when answering her query, but will also source its information from research vetted by the company's board of clinicians.
The custom women's health model is Oura's first proprietary LLM, trained on clinical sources and research guidelines approved by the company's board of certified clinicians and women's health experts. The custom chatbot's experimental launch comes nearly a year after Oura Advisor was given a permanent spot on the Oura app, following a trial run through Oura Labs.

When a user questions Oura Advisor about their menstrual cycle or pregnancy stage, the custom model will pop up with an answer. Questions like, 'How can I improve my sleep during my third trimester of pregnancy?' or 'Why has my cycle become irregular?' or 'How does my menstrual cycle influence stress and activity?' will prompt the custom women's health model to pop up and respond. This custom LLM is another way for Oura members to use personalized, evidence-based technology to understand their health.
"By having a more custom model on the back end, our advisory experience becomes that much more personalized and tailored to our female members," Dr. Tanvi Jayaraman, one of the physicians who helped build the model, said to in an interview.

Oura said it built the women's health model to be supportive, clinically sound, and personalized. The one thing the company didn't build the model to be? A doctor. Oura advised against using the chatbot for diagnosis or treatment. Instead, the custom LLM should be used as a springboard for discovering wellness data patterns that can be taken to a professional when needed.
Oura members who use the custom LLM will help shape the model's responses by providing feedback to the company before a possible wider launch. Because the feature is only available through Oura Labs, Oura members will have to opt in to use it. Once the custom women's health model generates responses, members will also provide feedback on their preferred response types.
By launching this feature in Oura Labs, Jayaraman said the company co-creates the experience its members want by soliciting feedback and completing rigorous evaluation of quality, safety, and member satisfaction.
How to try it
You can find Oura Labs in the Oura app by going to the drop down menu on the upper left corner of your app. Once you've opted in to trying out the new features, you can begin using the custom women's health model or try out Oura's blood pressure profile study, two of the experimental features in Oura Labs right now.

Oura hasn't said whether the custom women's health LLM feature will launch permanently in its app for all members. For those who are already opted into Oura Labs, you can expect to see the new feature arrive on the app in the coming days.
