Next day: Apple acquires Omron to improve their Watch product line.
- tolien 7y agoThat was my first thought too — Apple has the money and seem to have pivoted the Apple Watch into a health and fitness device. Acquiring the company or licensing the technology seems like an obvious win.
- mtw 7y agoMeasuring the body temperature would be a better target for Apple Watch in my opinion. Body temperature tells a lot, for anyone, from kids to seniors, athletes to disabled. I'd buy one in a heartbeat, as opposed to one with blood pressure monitoring
- spanxx 7y agoDoesn't Apple was trying to measure glucose with their watch?
- nradov 7y agoYou're never going to get an accurate body core temperature based on a wrist measurement. It's just not physically possible. An external sensor elsewhere on the body would be needed.
- samatman 7y agoY'know, the ear canal would work pretty well...
- criddell 7y agoOmron could certainly use Apple's help in the design department. Look at that bezel!
- brutt 7y agoMy friend did watch, which is able to monitor BP (using different method than Omron). He won few challenges with it. How to contact Apple? :-)
