iHealth Labs launch takes health monitoring to 3 new levels
Keeping track of your vital signs will now be easier while on the go with iHealth Labs' three new wireless monitoring devices. The three new devices are the Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor, Wireless Ambulatory Electrocardiogram, and the Wireless Pulse Oximeter. You can monitor and share your data directly with your doctor using your mobile device and the cloud. To learn more about these devices, check out this week's Wearable Tech roundup.
Car manufacturers questioned for data collection
The push to release more connected cars is increasing. Connected cars help manufacturers know if the system has a glitch and fix it early, and car owners can get a diagnostic of their car even before they take it to the shop. These are just some of the benefits of owning an internet connected car, but these benefits are being overshadowed by privacy concerns regarding how they collect data from car owners, and what car manufacturers do with these data. To find out more, check out this week's SmartCar roundup.
Tune in next week for more interesting stories, discoveries and innovations in the world of smart and connected things.
