Oura's CEO wants its smart ring to be the doctor in your pocket

zdnet.com Nina Raemont 2025-11-17 17:30:00

Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer. Now he’s “Sloppy Steve,” Musk is sitting next to Trump during interviews, and Bannon says he’s ready for war. And while Bannon whines, Musk is opening th
