•  “Owlet has one of the largest infant health data sets in the world. so this is really exciting. We're just getting started, but there's so many opportunities for us to use that information to, you know, empower parents further to just delight them in their product experience. For example, things we're talking about but haven't implemented yet, might be like, ‘Oh, we can see that your baby woke several times last night. It looks like you had a rough night, mom. You know, here's a Starbucks gift card on us. Have a good day.’ You know, so it's not just the product pieces of like, oh, your child might be getting sick, or this, you know, key health metric has changed for them, but also just provide them a delightful brand experience as well. And I think that's really magical.”
