Wearable Blood pressure Monitor

What iHealth wants is for patients to see the benefit of being able to give that kind of regularly-gathered information to their doctors, particularly because the data will show changes in blood pressure over the course of a day. This is key for understanding potential cases of nocturnal hypertension, "white-coat" hypertension, or resistant hypertension when medications are ineffective at controlling high blood pressure, iHealth said.

Wireless ambulatory ECG
Those who need to wear an ambulatory electrocardiogram could now have a wireless option, thanks to iHealth. The company's new device features built-in electrodes and a monitor that were ergonomically designed to be lightweight and fit under normal clothing, and to attach directly to a user's chest. The data gathered by the device is delivered wirelessly to the user's mobile phone, which then automatically sends it to the cloud. That makes it easy for doctors to access the data.

The device is compatible with iOS devices and uses Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (LE) to transfer data. It uses USB to transfer data to a PC. It has a rechargeable battery, and can store as much as 72 hours of data.

Wearable Pulse Oximeter
Finally, iHealth plans on releasing a new wearable pulse oximeter that can continuously monitor blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Built around a fingertip sensor that connects to a wristband, the device is meant to measure blood oxygen saturation during normal daily activity, or at night. The device can be helpful, iHealth says, for detecting obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and sleep apnea.

The pulse oximeter can store as much as 1, 000 hours of data, and connects wirelessly to iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth 4.0 LE.

All three devices are compatible with iHealth's mobile app, which displays the relevant data and automatically sends it to the cloud, allowing it to be managed and shared as desired.

For now, it's not clear when the devices will hit the market. The company is waiting for federal approval of each device. But it says that it hopes each device will be available in the second half of 2014. Pricing has yet to be announced.
