In a hilarious naming clash, Halo is the name of a medical bracelet in the SciFi show Continuum created by one of the main characters, who is the CEO of a very Amazon like company. The bracelet uses ai to monitor, track, and treat your health. Since the show is of course science fiction, the bracelet is quickly misused. See the commercial for the device from the show: https://youtu.be/xfqaZ8_Z5aA https://youtu.be/xfqaZ8_Z5aA
