Oura has partnered with Project RESET, Singapore’s national research initiative focused on cardiovascular disease prevention, to contribute biometric data through wearable technology. The collaboration integrates Oura’s continuous health tracking capabilities into a five-year, $25 million research program funded by the National Research Foundation and National Medical Research Council. The study aims to recruit 3,000 participants aged 40 to 70, and Oura will sponsor 1,500 rings to collect longitudinal data on sleep, heart rate variability, activity, and stress. “By combining Oura’s advanced wearable technology with Project RESET’s translational research capabilities, we are taking a significant step toward developing predictive models for early identification of patterns that increase the risk of negative cardiovascular outcomes,” said Professor Roger Foo, Principal Investigator of Project RESET.
The partnership is designed to help researchers better understand how daily habits influence long-term heart health and to support the development of personalized preventive strategies. Shyamal Patel, Senior Vice President of Science at Oura, highlighted, “Cardiovascular risk isn’t determined by a single moment in time—it’s shaped by sleep, stress, activity, and recovery over weeks, months, and years.” Professor Michael Chee, Principal Investigator of the RESET-Oura sub-study, noted, “Sleep health is a critical yet often overlooked factor in cardiovascular disease risk,” emphasizing the study’s goal to assess how sleep patterns impact heart health outcomes.
