Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Rise's platform is designed to help users make critical lifestyle changes and lose weight. Rise recently expanded its scope of services beyond weight loss to include support for managing chronic conditions and other health goals, and in August acquired HealthyOut, an app that helps users find healthy food options at restaurants. One Medical said it will integrate the company's technology into its broader 24/7 digital health offering, which also includes online and mobile tools that allow people to book appointments, renew prescriptions, connect with their medical team and get treatment for basic health issues. Rise co-founders Suneel Gupta and Stuart Parmenter, along with the rest of the Rise team, will join One Medical in San Francisco. The news comes two months after One Medical raised $65 million in round of funding led by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

o Hyundai "First Date" Ad Tops USA Today Super Bowl 50 Ad Meter
McLean, Va. -- Hyundai's "First Date" ad knocked off three-time defending champion Anheuser-Busch to win USA Today's Super Bowl 50 Ad Meter, an annual survey of pre-registered panelists from across the country. The ad depicts a father, played by comedian Kevin Hart, giving the keys to his new Hyundai to a young man who's taking his daughter on a date, then using a feature of the car to track their location throughout the night and frequently showing up unexpectedly. The ad beat out 62 other commercials that aired during the CBS broadcast. Heinz's "Weiner Stampede," Doritos' "Ultrasound," Doritos' "Doritos Dogs" and Hyundai's "Ryanville" rounded out the top five. Thirty-second ads sold this year for a record $5 million each. The complete rankings are available at the links below.
