Team USA has named Oura as the official wearable partner, making the Oura Ring the exclusive health-tracking platform for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic delegation and tying a research program to real-world data for training, recovery, and travel decisions.

Athletes will wear Oura Rings to monitor sleep, recovery, and wellness metrics with an emphasis on optimizing performance.

Oura is also designated the official wearable for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, expanding its long-standing partnerships with national teams.

Jet lag tools will mix chrono-science with personal baselines to optimize light exposure, sleep timing, and activity across time zone changes.

The initiative could spur broader consumer adoption of wearable physiology, enabling more personalized coaching, smarter travel planning, and sex- and cycle-aware training considerations for female athletes.

The ring gathers continuous data—resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature trends, sleep staging, and activity—and provides a Readiness score to guide training, tapering, and recovery.

For sports where wrist wearables are impractical, a finger-worn design supports overnight wear and travel, preserving longitudinal data to spot fatigue or illness trends.

The collaboration aims to generate real-world evidence to help elite athletes perform at their best for Olympic and Paralympic Games and may drive new features informed by ongoing research.

The partnership highlights the growing role of wearable tech in athletics and health tech, signaling market competition and potential future features driven by these collaborations.

Coaches will be able to tailor tapering, travel, and practice intensity by aligning subjective readiness with objective markers, building long-term physiological baselines for each athlete.

Collaborations with US governing bodies — such as US Ski & Snowboard, USA Hockey, and US Speedskating — will feed real-world feedback to improve algorithms and features that may also benefit consumer wearables.

The Oura Ring uses a lightweight titanium shell (about 4–6 grams) designed for 24/7 wear, including sleep and water activities, with a durable finish suitable for elite training.
