Oura is headquartered in Oulu Finland and the main US office is in SF.
San Diego does have a bunch of health tech, but it pales in comparison to Boston.

I don't have firm data on this, but colloquially among medical people, San Diego is seen to have more biotech startups than any other metro, including Boston/SF.
Boston has more research, of course, though SD is competitive there as well.
We can disagree about numbers etc, but 'pales' doesn't reflect reality.

I have worked in tech in many different cities and when I worked for a startup in San Diego, we were surrounded by health tech companies of all sizes. I've never worked in Boston, but I would say San Diego is definitely a health tech hub.
