On this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with Geoff Wylde, VP and General Manager of ŌURA to talk about what happens when consumer tech collides with national security.

What started as a global health project in 2019 quickly became a breakthrough for the U.S. military: using the ŌURA Ring to predict illness, monitor fatigue, and give commanders and operators real-time insight into readiness. Since then, the technology has scaled across the Air Force and Navy, shaping how units think about human performance, privacy, and resilience in the field.

In this episode, they unpack:

  • How wearables move from lifestyle data to mission-critical intelligence
  • The balance of privacy, security, and usability in defense settings
  • Lessons from embedding commercial tech directly with operators
  • Why the next edge isn’t just faster hardware, but healthier, more resilient people
