0:00.0	Hello, everyone. Welcome to the WOOP podcast. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of Woop,
0:10.8	and we are on a mission to unlock human performance. We build technology across hardware and
0:16.7	software and analytics that's designed to understand the human body.
0:22.6	If you've never signed up for whoop or you're interested in our technology,

0:32.6	That's W-I-L-L-A-H-M-E-D.
0:41.5	We've got a fascinating episode for you today. It's been fascinating for me.
0:48.2	We've gotten to interview a number of different WOOP members fighting COVID-19. What does that mean?
0:57.4	So we're looking at individuals on the front lines. We're looking at people working at grocery stores. And then we have three different WOOP members who actually got COVID-19. And we talk about all their WOOP data and what
1:05.8	changed before, during, and after COVID-19. We at WOOP have gotten an enormous number of questions from our WOOP members about how
1:14.7	their data can evolve if they have COVID-19 or believe they have COVID-19.
1:20.2	We're still doing an enormous amount of research on that.

1:39.4	Our first conversation is with Steve Viola, a former Navy SEAL and the safety officer at the Ryan Larkin
1:46.6	Field Hospital in New York. The Columbia University Athletics Fieldhouse has been converted into a
1:52.5	hospital to treat COVID-19 patients to ease the burden on Manhattan hospitals. Took workers literally
1:59.5	a week to get this facility up and running. So that's
2:01.8	pretty amazing. And a number of military volunteers have staffed the center to help patients.
2:08.9	Many of these volunteers are wearing whoop to track their well-being as they treat those in need.
2:13.3	I'm honored to see these people wearing whoop and to see whoop contribute.
