From FHIR to First Warnings: How Wearables Turn Early Signals Into Better Care with Ricky Bloomfield, Chief Medical Officer at Oura Ring

from Executive Uninterrupted · host Brian Urban & Saul Marquez

Better healthcare gets easier when we can spot meaningful changes early, using trustworthy data people can actually act on. In this episode, Ricky Bloomfield, Chief Medical Officer at Oura Ring, discusses his path from early curiosity about technology and medicine to hands-on work with web-based EHRs, clinical informatics, and the messy reality that innovation often looks like repeated failure before it works. He explains why interoperability matters, how standards like FHIR helped move the industry past one-off custom data pulls, and what happens when you combine clinical context with continuous wearable signals. The conversation also covers wearables as companions for care, early screening opportunities including insights linked to blood pressure and cardio-metabolic risk, and why nighttime measurements can be cleaner for long-term trend tracking. Dr. Bloomfield closes with a clear warning about incentives, engagement-driven products, and the trust gap in healthcare. Tune in and learn how prevention, interoperability, and incentives shape what health tech should do next. Resources Connect with Dr. Ricky Bloomfield on LinkedIn here.
