Key Takeaways:
- Enhanced Data Integration for Oura Teams: The acquisition brings Sparta Science’s Trinsic platform, allowing Oura Teams to combine Oura Ring data with third-party health metrics.

ŌURA, maker of Oura Ring, a smart ring that delivers personalized health data, insights, and daily guidance, announced that it’s entered into an agreement to acquire Sparta Science, an enterprise software company that converts health and performance data into actionable intelligence.
ŌURA will leverage Sparta Science’s Trinsic data platform, which streamlines the process of collecting, analyzing, and delivering human health and performance information at scale to improve and expand the Oura Teams business-to-business offering. According to a news release from ŌURA, the result will be an enhanced Oura Teams platform to serve ŌURA’s growing base of enterprise, healthcare, and government customers.
“Our enterprise offering supports organizations of all kinds to solve complex health and human performance challenges at scale, such as optimizing sailors’ schedules for maximum rest and recovery and early detection of illness,” says Dorothy Kilroy, ŌURA chief commercial officer, in a news release. “Through our work over the years with partners like the Department of Defense, we’ve proved that Oura Ring is uniquely positioned to support population health remotely and at scale. The addition of Sparta Science and its Trinsic data platform will help us meet the specific needs of our partners.”
Population Health Insights
To understand population health and enable organizations to support their people effectively, it ŌURA says it is crucial to merge diverse data sets—securely and anonymously—to gain comprehensive insights into health trends and disparities.
These practices enable researchers, healthcare professionals, and organizational leaders to identify health patterns, allocate resources efficiently, and develop targeted interventions. Institutions are changing how they think about productivity; it’s no longer just about output but also about sustainability, according to the release from ŌURA.
ŌURA’s enterprise data management platform, Oura Teams, allows account administrators to invite their organization to opt-in to share data, manage users, review group insights and trends, and visualize or export data. It is designed to help organizations monitor group-level and individual-level metrics, provides tools to quickly identify anomalies and patterns within group data, and offers easy functionality to download data for a group or individuals.
Enterprise customers across the military, private sector, and more currently use Oura Teams to monitor and analyze health metrics for groups of individuals at scale. The addition of Trinsic will enable Oura Teams to:
- Combine insights from Oura Ring with multiple third-party data sources in a flexible, scalable platform.
- Enable customizable solutions to either integrate with a customer’s existing systems (such as athlete management systems, electronic medical records, and research and operational data platforms) or create customized dashboards and workflows directly.
- Provide insights to optimize scheduling, resource allocation, return-to-duty processes, and fitness and safety measures.
- Continue supporting HIPAA compliance and adherence to government and enterprise information security frameworks.
Sparta Science Team Members Join ŌURA
In addition to adapting the Trinsic data platform to create a new Oura Teams offering, several members of the Sparta Science team will join ŌURA, adding technical talent across engineering, data science, solutions architecture, and product development.
“Trinsic is a powerful data platform that can address many of the advanced needs of ŌURA’s customers,” says Greg Olsen, Sparta Software’s chief technology officer, in a news release. “By joining forces, we can create a more comprehensive and scalable solution. Our technology will enable Oura Teams to incorporate a wider range of data sources, perform more precise individual and population-level analyses, and ultimately better serve unique customer requirements.”
Trinsic will continue to ingest and support force plate data from Sparta Science’s legacy force plates and those made by third parties, and ŌURA will continue to support Sparta Science’s legacy force plate business until the end of the calendar year. ŌURA will cease production and distribution of force plates at the end of 2024. Existing Sparta Science customers will be supported individually and on a contract basis. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
