More than a Fitness watch!
What is Philips launching?
Netherlands-based Philips Healthcare that is already helping hospitals by providing equipment like CT scanners, defibrillators and so on is stepping in the health wearable devices too.
What devices are available?
Philips has not only introduced a wearable health tracker, but a whole range of smart healthcare devices that include a body analysis scale ($100), ear thermometer($60), two blood pressure monitors (upper arm ($100) and wrist ($90)) as well as a health watch ($250). Each device acts as a hub to the mobile app that will be able to track all bio signals, activity data and prevent chronic diseases related to diabetes, heart disease, and many other conditions, too.
The company has made all these devices on par with the medical standards. The devices are tested in labs for accuracy and registered with FDA.
Philips’ Take on the Devices
Philips admits that not everybody is capable of spending $600 for the complete set of devices, but the company is hopeful that people will be interested in any one or two devices according to their needs. People who have weight problems may want to spend in the watch & scale, whereas patients with Hypertension can go with the upper-arm blood pressure monitor and so on.
The new range of health devices are available on their official website and soon would be available in other outlets like brick-and-mortar stores and workplace health programs.
