Media Outlet: Athletech News
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 December
Query:
Hello, My name is Nick Keppler. I am a freelance writer and I
am working on a story for Atheletech (athletechnews.com), a
new-ish website covering fitness, technology and finance. This
one is on Amazon and its increasingly large array of health and
fitness offerings. Amazon, the greatest economic beneficiary of
the covid-19 era, is increasing its in-house offerings in the
fitness and wellness space. Amazon's smart watch the Halo aims
to compete with Fitbit and Apple Fitness and includes a measure
of emotional feedback by supposedly tracking users' tone of
voice. Amazon's Echo Buds, the company's wireless headphones,
can now track workouts and interact with the Echo so you can
also ask things like, "what's my pace?" or "how far have I run?"
Other health initiatives include - Amazon Pharmacy, a
prescription medicine delivery service - Amazon Care, a
healthcare program for employees - Haven, a healthcare-focused
joint venture with Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase - The
backing of health and fitness-focused startups with its Alexa
Fund. Is Amazon a late-comer to this area? Is it an opportunist
given that people are working out at home more and counting on
digital devices now that they can't or won't go to the gym? Will
the company's marketplace omnipresence allow it to sideswipe
more specialized and older competitors in the fitness space?
Will Amazon's history and reputation involving privacy hinder it
in the health and fitness market? How do past Amazon ventures
into new territory compare with its new fitness offerings? I
would love to discuss any of the above with financial analysts.
Requirements:
I am looking for financial analysists and people who have
experience in the fitness industry, particularly on the finance
side. Thank you for your time and attention.
