To sync Oura and Apple Health, turn on the connection and the specific data permissions in both apps: in Oura, go to Settings > Data sharing > Apple Health, enable Connect to Health, then check Oura’s read and write access in Apple Health. If a record is missing, first see whether it exists in Oura; then check its category, direction, sync timing and permissions before resetting the connection.
Before connecting Oura to Apple Health
Oura’s setup instructions cover Gen2 and Gen3 or later rings with an active membership on iOS. Oura says you can configure Apple Health later in Settings if you declined the Health prompt during initial setup. The available sharing controls and eligibility can change; see Oura’s Apple Health Integration instructions for its current details.

Sharing is controlled by data category and direction. A connection alone does not mean every category is enabled, nor that each type of data moves both ways. Oura lists exports to Apple Health including active energy, heart rate, mindful minutes, sleep, steps, weight and workouts. Its listed imports from Apple Health include active energy, blood pressure, body composition, date of birth, heart rate, sleep, steps, weight and workouts. Check the permission for the specific item and direction you need.
How to sync Oura and Apple Health
- Enable sharing in Oura. Open Oura, tap the menu, then go to Settings > Data sharing > Apple Health. Turn on Connect to Health and select the data options you want.
- Check Apple Health permissions. In Health, tap your profile picture, choose Apps > Oura, then review the categories Oura may read or write. You can also use the iPhone path Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Oura.
- Open Oura and sync. Let the app sync with the ring, then check Health for the relevant category. Oura describes updates appearing after a completed activity or workout and an Oura sync; it does not promise an instant, continuous feed.
Fix missing Oura data in Apple Health
Use this sequence for data that is absent or delayed. It helps distinguish a failed transfer from data that was never recorded by Oura.
#1 Best Overall
- THE WORLD’S SMALLEST SMART RING - 40% smaller than the previous generation, Oura Ring 5 is thinner, lighter and smaller than ever. The updated all-titanium design is more scratch-resistant and comfortable than ever
- SIZING IS ESSENTIAL - Oura Ring 5 uses unique sizing different from standard jewelry rings and other Oura Ring generations; use the Oura Ring 5 Sizing Kit to find your perfect fit before purchasing
- EVERYDAY HEALTH SENSING - Oura tracks over 50 health metrics, including sleep, activity, stress, heart health, metabolic health and women’s health metrics. Oura seamlessly integrates with over 40 apps including Natural Cycles, Strava, & more
- OURA MEMBERSHIP - First month of membership is included with purchase, for new members only. Subscription is 5.99/mo afterwards. Membership is tied to your account via the Oura App, not your physical ring
- REBUILT FOR GREATER ACCURACY - Oura Ring 5 has been re-engineered and reconfigured, providing more precise personal health data. Larger, smarter sensors bring research-grade accuracy—all in Oura’s smallest form factor yet
- Check the source record. Look in Oura first. If the sleep or activity record is missing there too, changing Apple Health permissions cannot restore it. Check Oura’s Known Issues page for current reports; listed issues and affected app or iOS versions can change.
- Verify the category and direction. In Oura’s Apple Health sharing settings and in Oura’s Health permissions, confirm the specific item is enabled for the required read or write direction.
- Sync and check after the relevant event. Open Oura, sync your ring data, and check Health after completing an activity or workout. Oura’s integration guidance describes that update pattern.
- Check background conditions. Oura identifies not opening both apps before midnight, disabled Background App Refresh and Low Power Mode as possible causes of missed integration imports. Its advice is to open both apps at least once daily. For details, see Oura’s Apple Health guidance.
- Reset the integration. On an up-to-date iPhone operating system, turn the integration settings off and back on in Oura. Oura then recommends restarting the phone before trying another integration activity. Follow its troubleshooting steps.
- Reinstall only after backing up. If the earlier steps fail, Oura’s next listed step is Settings > Account > Back up all data. Wait for the backup to finish before uninstalling and reinstalling Oura. Reinstallation is a troubleshooting step, not a guarantee that previously missing records will return.
- Contact support if the gap persists. Oura directs members who still have trouble to contact its support team. For a third-party app integration, Oura also recommends contacting the relevant third party where appropriate.
Why Oura steps, calories or sleep look different
Steps are duplicated or totals seem wrong
Apple Health can prioritize which source contributes to step totals. In Health, browse to Activity > Steps > Data Sources & Access > Edit, then move Oura to the top if you want it prioritized. If double counting continues, disable Oura’s permission to write Steps. Trackers can count steps differently because they may use different thresholds or movement classifications.
Calorie totals do not match
Oura records active calories. Other services may include basal metabolic rate as well, so compare the same calorie measure before treating a difference as a sync failure.

Graphs or sleep stages differ
Oura says Apple Health may round values or display graphs at different intervals. Sleep-stage and heart-rate graphs can therefore look different between the apps even when data has transferred.

Profile details and missing sleep data
Some profile information cannot be edited in Oura
Oura says that when connected to a third-party health app, height, weight, age and sex can be imported into Oura and may not be editable there unless the apps are unlinked. Review the sharing choices and profile implications before connecting. See Oura’s explanation of health-data use.

Sleep is missing inside Oura too
If Oura itself lacks the record, the issue may be with source data rather than the Apple Health transfer. Oura’s Known Issues page, last updated October 1, 2026, listed open reports involving missing sleep stages on certain iOS versions and incomplete sleep data on certain app versions. That is not a diagnosis for every missing record; check the live Known Issues page for its current status and applicable versions.
