This bonus episode is part of the Greatest Hits collection — episodes from the past 6 years that are just as relevant today. It was episode #174, and it originally aired in August 2021. 

Jared and Zain discuss how hard it is to maintain a relationship with consumers in between episodes of care. So why not align with brands that have an ongoing relationship, such as their Peloton bike or your neighborhood gym? They share some provocative thinking about how hospitals, health systems, and providers can get in on the connected fitness game to benefit their patient relationships and ultimately be part of the solution for living more healthy lives. 

This is an interesting take after hearing from the team at Oura and their vision for connected fitness in episode #355.
