Wearable technology company Oura Health Oy reported that it has acquired Helsinki-based Doublepoint Technologies Oy, a technology company that enables users to control wearable devices with small hand movements through AI and biometric data.
The company reported in a media release that the acquisition “will guide future versions of Oura’s smart rings, where hand gestures could play a central role in the experience, along with possibly voice control.”
Terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition includes “gaining an exceptional team of AI architects and builders from Doublepoint,” including its four founders. The team “will be central to designing and shipping the AI-led experiences that will define Oura’s future,” and will be based in Helsinki, Finland.
Founded in 2020, Doublepoint’s tech allows devices to understand small hand movements, “so interactions feel faster and more natural across different interfaces.” Oura said it believes the next phase of wearable AI will be powered by a combination of voice and gestures, and “Doublepoint’s expertise in AI, biometrics and human–computer interaction complements Oura’s work in preventative health and accelerates its ability to power a broader ecosystem of ambient, privacy-first 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,” said Tom Hale, CEO of Oura. “Welcoming the Doublepoint team into Oura strengthens our bench with world-class talent, reinforces our long-term commitment to growing in Finland, and helps us move even faster to deliver intuitive, human-first experiences for our members across devices, services, and environments.”
“From the beginning, Doublepoint has focused on building gesture-recognition technology that feels effortless and human,” said Doublepoint Co-founder and CEO, Ohto Pentikäinen. “Oura has proven that people are eager for technology that helps them better understand themselves without adding friction to their lives. Joining forces with Oura will allow us to bring our capabilities to a much broader audience and accelerate a shared vision for more personal, adaptive, and responsive computing experiences.”
Oura’s previous acquisitions to help build its ecosystem include Sparta Science, Veri (also founded in Helsinki) and Proxy.
This acquisition follows Oura’s report of “achieving an $11 billion valuation in a funding round last October, while indicating sales reached $1 billion for 2025, up from $500 million in 2024.
