Oura is launching a custom LLM designed for women's health.
Users can test it out in the app through Oura Labs.
The model will answer questions sourced from clinician-vetted research.
Oura is rolling out a custom women's health model within its personal health chatbot, Oura Advisor, the smart ring company announced on Tuesday. It's an experimental feature through Oura Labs, Oura's testing ground for new features, that will not only take a woman's biometric data into account when answering her query, but will also source its information from research vetted by the company's board of clinicians.
The custom women's health model is Oura's first proprietary LLM, trained on clinical sources and research guidelines approved by the company's board of certified clinicians and women's health experts. The custom chatbot's experimental launch comes nearly a year after Oura Advisor was given a permanent spot on the Oura app, following a trial run through Oura Labs.
