Boasting more than 340,000 subscribers with classes that are streamed for over 4 million minutes each month, as well as the certification of over 1,300 viewers to become teaching and healing yogis, Brett Larkin is the creator of the award-winning YouTube channel, Uplifted™️ Yoga, as well as Uplifted™️ Online Yoga Teacher Trainings. And today, on MarketScale Live, host Daniel Litwin, the voice of B2B, sits down with this entrepreneurial fitness influencer to unpack Lululemon’s recent $500 million purchase of the home workout startup Mirror, and discuss the viability and longevity of today’s online, interactive fitness market.

As the co-founder and seller of two successful health & wellness businesses before starting Uplifted, Larkin believes the acquisition of Mirror—“the nearly invisible home gym”—presents great potential for fitness accessory and apparel brand Lululemon, providing unique opportunities for them to expand their clothing-based business into the home fitness arena, particularly as viewership and sales for Uplifted have skyrocketed since the COVID-19 outbreak.

“It’s incredible. Our traffic to our key pages has increased 3X. Our YouTube properties—the amount of viewership has tripled; sales have tripled. People are really, really hungry for this. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” exclaimed Larkin.

But is this surge in the home fitness market a transitory response to the pandemic or more of a long-term shift in workout lifestyles?

“I think this Mirror acquisition is really emblematic of a huge shift in the health and wellness industry,” remarked Larkin. “They (Lululemon) see that there is a huge appetite long-term for working out at home—not just because of COVID, but because of convenience, right? I think what’s going to be the new normal and go mainstream is people recognizing the incredible potential of working from home—the quality, the cost-effectiveness, and not having to fit into someone else’s schedule.”

Censis now reads da Vinci 2D codes to count arm uses

Censis now reads da Vinci 2D codes to count arm uses

Censis Technologies told CtUC 2026 attendees that CensiTrac has read the 2D matrix code on da Vinci arms since April, so robotic arms carry use counts without a second mark. The session built a business case for CensiTrac Advanced around marked assembly, clinic inventory ownership and par levels, with a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study putting missing instruments at 17.6% of assembly defects.

  • 01CensiTrac has counted da Vinci arm uses from the code that already comes on each arm since April, with no laser or etch added.
  • 02Hospitals told Censis they want clinic inventory tracking mainly to prove sterile processing did not lose the instruments.
  • 03Missing instruments were 17.6% of assembly tray defects at a 700-bed hospital in a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study, a problem the presenter tied to marked assembly.

AdvaMed digital health board approves data access best practices

AdvaMed digital health board approves data access best practices

AdvaMed's Digital Health Tech board approved voluntary Data Access Principles & Best Practices, announced October 28, setting four principles for how medtech companies and U.S. health systems share data.

  • 01The framework covers data vendors need to implement, monitor and improve technology, with expectations for transparency, stewardship and de-identification.
  • 02Watch for the first RFPs, security questionnaires or data use agreements that cite the principles by name; a voluntary document gains weight only when buyers adopt it.

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of dispensing cabinets have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01Gilman argues cabinet-only counts can miss RFID stock, fueling false urgency and emergency purchases, and can skew both stock-on-hand and usage-rate inputs in days-on-hand math.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.
