Amazon launched a health-tracking device, Halo, on Aug. 27, the company’s first foray into the wearables market with EHR vendor Cerner.
Halo integrates with Cerner’s products, allowing users to share their health data directly into the EHR. Sharp HealthCare in San Diego is the first health system to use the technology, which includes advanced sensors to connect data, including the user’s temperature, heart rate and sleep and fitness information. The wearable also has two microphones that users can turn on and off to analyze energy and positivity in their voices.
The move puts Amazon in direct competition with Apple and Fitbit, which Google’s parent company entered into an agreement to acquire for $2.1 billion last November.
