SRAM manufactures bicycle components and uses technology that enables riders to review shifting patterns, gear usage, power zones and tire pressure metrics to optimize their riding experience. The company’s AXS ecosystem integrates electronic shifting, power meters and tire pressure sensors with AXS Web, a digital platform that collects and analyzes ride data to help cyclists understand bike performance and make informed adjustments.
Cubii makes smart under-desk ellipticals that let users exercise while working. The company's product line includes the Cubii Move, the portable Cubii Go and the Cubii Total Body with an upper-body pulley system for full-body workouts. Cubii also offers over 300 expert-led workout classes through Cubii Studio+, providing on-demand fitness instruction at no additional cost to users.
Higi, a subsidiary of ModivCare, operates a U.S. nationwide network of FDA-cleared Smart Health Stations that enable users to track and improve their health across retail, pharmacy and community locations. The stations provide free self-service screenings for vitals — such as blood pressure, pulse, weight and BMI — helping consumers understand their risk for conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

It manufactures free weights, exercise bikes, treadmills and additional cardio and strength training equipment for home and commercial gym use, alongside digital solutions like its Connected Fitness Ecosystem and Life Fitness On Demand+ workout platform.
PatientPoint operates one of the largest digital screens networks at the point of care, delivering behavior-changing health content to patients and healthcare providers across waiting rooms, exam rooms and practice settings.
