Bill Ackman's 26-year-old daughter Lucy had a brain hemorrhage in February that went unnoticed for over 19 hours—even though she was wearing the $299 Oura Ring, famed mostly for tracking sleep patterns and that awkward moment when your body temp spikes mid-Bedtime TikTok binge. Ackman wistfully wished the ring could’ve shouted ‘Hey! Brain leaking!’ and called family before Lucy was rushed to emergency surgery at 3 a.m. Oura CEO Tom Hale reassured everyone on social media that they are now channeling Tony Stark, investigating if the ring can detect catastrophic brain pressure before it ruins your day. Meanwhile, Ackman and his wife launched a nonprofit to nerd out on brain science, proving that even billionaires pivot fast from hedge funds to saving brains.
