地球上最后一个人

一 | 8 月 25 日消息，据彭博社报道，芬兰智能戒指制造商 Oura 正计划最早于下个月在美国进行 IPO，拟募集最多 30 亿美元（注：现汇率约合 201.87 亿元人民币），并寻求超过 160 亿美元（现汇率约合 1,076.66 亿元人民币）的估值。 Actor Akshay Oberoi has officially confirmed his involvement in Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated magnum opus King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film, which marks a collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan, has already become one of the most buzzed-about projects in Bollywood. This marks Akshay’s third collaboration with director Siddharth Anand post Fighter and their OTT series, Flesh. Expressing his excitement, the actor said, "It’s a dream come true, my checklist is complete now that I’ve got the chance to work in a King Khan film and share screen space with him. Growing up, Shah Rukh Khan has been one of my biggest inspirations not just as an actor, but as someone who redefined charisma and hard work in Indian cinema. To be a part of a film that stars him feels surreal. I’ve admired his discipline, his energy, and his generosity as a performer for years, and to finally experience that in person is something I’ll always cherish. Also, Sid and Mamta are like family to me now in this industry and when Siddharth called me to be part of this magnum opus, I had to jump in and immediately said yes. My association with them is truly special. I’m soaking in every moment and learning as much as I can from him on set." With King, Akshay joins a stellar ensemble in what promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan's look from the film was released on this birthday this month. Apart from his much talked about salt-and-pepper look, fans were particularly impressed by the production' scale. Reportedly, the filmmakers are working hard to ensure King is produced on a lavish scale, aiming to provide viewers with the experience of a truly global action film. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the production cost of King is approximately Rs 350 crores, positioning it as one of the most expensive action films to be coming from an Indian production. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, Raghav Juyal, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla among others.

二 | 可穿戴设备市场正在迅速变得拥挤。三星在两年前推出了自己的智能戒指 Galaxy Ring。不过，Oura 最直接的竞争对手可能是健身手环厂商 Whoop，后者近年来也经历了业务转型。

三 | Whoop 最初主要面向顶级运动员和年轻男性，将产品定位为运动表现监测工具。过去一年，该公司开始吸引更加广泛的消费者，并加入围绝经期和甲状腺健康相关的激素追踪及血液检测功能。

四 | 这一转型推动 Whoop 在今年 3 月的估值升至 100 亿美元（现汇率约合 672.91 亿元人民币）。

五 | Oura 也走上了类似的发展道路。公司最初主要面向热衷“生物黑客”的企业高管，如今已经逐渐转型为面向大众市场的睡眠与恢复健康品牌。

六 | 今年 5 月，Oura 宣布已经秘密提交 IPO 申请。不过，Oura 最近获得的关注并非都是正面的。上周，一起拟议中的集体诉讼在旧金山提起，指控 Oura 就其睡眠追踪功能的准确性误导消费者。诉讼文件提出了多项指控，其中包括 Oura 不仅宣称产品能够“测量心跳或体温”，还声称可以判断佩戴者所处的具体睡眠阶段。

七 | 然而，原告认为，准确判断睡眠阶段实际上需要在头皮上安装电极、在眼睛附近安装传感器，通常只有医院或其他临床环境才能做到。Oura 周末向 TechCrunch 发表声明，对诉讼中的相关指控予以反驳。公司表示将“在适当的法律程序中进行抗辩”，并强调：“虽然 Oura Ring 并非医疗器械，也不能替代临床睡眠检测，但 Oura 的睡眠分期功能已经经过验证，并在多项研究中与作为行业金标准的多导睡眠监测进行了比较，结果表现良好。”Oura 还表示，多项来自第三方独立机构的研究都支持其关于准确性的说法，公司也一直透明地披露用于睡眠分期的相关机制和测量指标。
