Chief Medical Officer, Oura

Ricky Bloomfield, MD, is Oura’s Chief Medical Officer, where he sets the vision for Oura’s global healthcare programs and partnerships, guides the company through ever-changing healthcare regulations and leads the company’s expansion in healthcare solutions. He also enables cross-functional collaboration across the organization to drive the direction of new hardware and software features to scale healthcare ambitions.

Dr. Bloomfield brings expertise in medicine, digital health, clinical informatics, and navigating the U.S. healthcare system. He joins Oura from Apple, where he served as Clinical and Health Informatics Lead. During his tenure, Dr. Bloomfield led the launch of several features, including Apple’s Health Records on iPhone and iPad.

Before joining Apple, Dr. Bloomfield was the director of Mobile Technology Strategy at Duke University Health System, where he explored the world of clinical informatics, the intersection of technology and healthcare. There, he discovered a problem worth solving: health data interoperability. To address this, he led a team to implement the first API on an Epic-based electronic health record (EHR) that used the emerging FHIR standard, with the goal of helping patients, clinicians, and researchers easily access health-record data. At Duke, he also collaborated on the largest app-based autism research study of its kind and worked as a hospitalist in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
