Amazon reveals Halo Fitness and Halo Nutrition programs for Halo subscribers – TechCrunch

Amazon is introducing two new services tied to user health and fitness, and its Halo personal health devices. They include Halo Fitness, a new service for interactive home video workouts that looks a lot like Apple Fitness+, and Halo Nutrition, a personalized, guided meal planner.

Both of these services will be included as part of Amazon’s Halo membership for users of its Halo line of fitness trackers, which include the new Halo View activity tracker that adds an OLED display. The Halo subscription costs $3.99 per month after a six-month free trial bundled with Halo Band, or a 12-month trial with Halo View, and Amazon says it’ll include both of these new features starting later this year for Fitness, and in January 2022 for Nutrition.

Halo Fitness offers “studio quality workouts” led by “industry experts,” and offers real-time display of metrics like heart rate and heart rate intensity zone as captured by the Halo fitness bands. The workouts include coaches like Michael Hildebrand, Elena Cheung, and Elizabeth Andrews, and it will offer cardio, strength, yoga, outdoor and mobility classes in terms of types of workouts.

Halo Nutrition will offer recipe discovery and meal planning, with options to create tailor-made menus based on dietary preferences and requirements, or pre-curated menus for specific diets including ‘classic, keto, mediterranean, nordic, paleo, vegan and vegetarian. At launch, Amazon says it’ll have a library of over 500 recipes from partners including Whole Foods and WW, with integration with Alexa Shopping list for finding ingredients.

How health care workers went from ‘heroes to villains’ – NBC News

Dr. Sheryl Recinos’ patient refused to accept her diagnosis of Covid-19. Her cough was because of Recinos’ perfume, the patient insisted, certain that her positive Covid-19 test could not be correct. Recinos, a family medicine hospitalist in California, was not wearing perfume. The test result, Recinos told her patient, was accurate. The interaction, in summer 2020, was an outlier at the time. But in recent months, such conversations have become more common. Recinos has treated people who, two weeks into hospital stays for Covid-related breathing struggles, still do not believe they have the coronavirus. She has had patients who have questioned her judgment, patients who have demanded to be given the same medications that former President Donald Trump received when he had Covid and family members of patients who have screamed at her for something as simple as giving their loved ones oxygen, a necessary treatment that they argue is doing more harm than good. “It’s baffling.
