Oura 花 6.25 亿美元买下 Counsel Health，把 AI 聊天医生装进戒指配套的 App 里。对比 Whoop 和 Apple Watch 还停留在数据展示，Oura 直接切入了健康问诊这一层。做健康类产品或订阅服务的人可以看看硬件厂商怎么往服务端走。
Oura 在季度财报中宣布，以 6.25 亿美元收购自称“AI 原生基础医疗公司”的 Counsel Health。此前 Oura 已在今年早些时候将 Counsel Health 的 AI 聊天机器人整合进自家 App，用户可以通过对话获得基于个人健康数据的回应。
Counsel Health 的产品逻辑是把用户可穿戴设备采集的健康数据与 AI 生成的医疗建议结合起来，让聊天机器人充当第一层的健康咨询入口。对 Oura 而言，这次收购把此前以硬件戒指为主、按年收取订阅费的商业模式，扩展为软件服务。
6.25 亿美元的金额在消费级可穿戴设备领域属于规模较大的软件类收购，与 Whoop、Apple Watch 等竞品相比，Oura 正试图用 AI 医疗服务建立差异化。这对关注硬件厂商如何做健康订阅服务的开发者和企业有参考意义。
