San Francisco, CA | June 1, 2026 – Flexpa has partnered with ŌURA, maker of the world's leading smart ring, Oura Ring, to bring patients' clinical records into the ŌURA platform via TEFCA, the national health information network. With patient authorization, Flexpa retrieves clinical records from providers across the TEFCA network to surface them inside ŌURA's platform, so ŌURA's AI can draw from a person's real care history, in addition to the ongoing biometric data captured by Oura Ring.
The announcement follows ŌURA's participation in the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem: Live! First Wave Launch, where ŌURA demonstrated MVP builds as an early adopter in two CMS pledge categories: Patient Facing Apps — Conversational AI Assistants, and Patient Facing Apps — Diabetes and Obesity. These pledges commit ŌURA to building tools that connect to CMS Aligned Networks and, with patient consent, use health data to offer personalized support—clearly separating educational guidance from clinical advice and flagging when a professional should step in. Both Flexpa and ŌURA are DiMe Seal awardees, a designation recognized by CMS as an evaluation pathway for the Medicare App Library, underscoring their shared commitment to evidence, privacy, security, and usability.
The Flexpa integration is how ŌURA delivers on those pledges in practice. A patient using ŌURA's conversational AI assistant is able to authorize Flexpa to pull their clinical records—such as diagnoses, medications, procedures, encounters, and lab results—and make them available to the assistant in real time. For a patient managing diabetes or obesity, that means ŌURA's tools know what has already been tried, what conditions have been documented, and what medications are active: context that changes what useful guidance actually looks like.
All data access is patient-authorized through Flexpa's consent management system, consistent with TEFCA participation requirements and CMS Patient Access API standards. Flexpa is listed in the Medicare App Library, independently verified by CMS to meet high standards for privacy, security, and patient-authorized data exchange.
