Discovery Vitality and ŌURA entered an exclusive partnership to bring the ŌURA Ring 4 exclusively to Discovery Vitality members with a qualifying Discovery Bank account. This is the first time ŌURA Ring 4 will be available in South Africa, and this pioneering crossover of sleep health, wellness and insurance incentivizes members to hit personalized weekly sleep goals measured by duration, regularity and quality, and as a result, earn Vitality Sleep Rewards.
“By making sleep measurable and incentivised, Discovery is unlocking a new frontier in health. This is not only about empowering individuals to live healthier, longer lives, but also about creating positive impacts for healthcare systems, road safety, and society at large,” said Dinesh Govender, CEO of Discovery Vitality.
