Apple is very interested in health and it shows. The company has included all kinds of health-related features to its Apple Watch smartwatch as well as acquire several companies that make health products. In fact, it seems that Apple’s next health efforts could come in the form of asthma monitoring.
According to a report from CNBC, it seems that Apple has allegedly acquired a company called Tueo Health who specializes in creating tools that monitor asthma in children. However, what’s interesting is that this monitoring is done through a smartphone app as well as several commercially-available breathing sensors, making it more accessible than proprietary tech.
Apple has declined to comment on the report, although that is par for the course. Exactly how Apple plans on integrating this tech into future products remains to be seen. We have heard that Apple has pretty big plans for its Apple Watch, where one of the features that has been rumored for the past couple of years, is a non-invasive method of checking glucose levels, ideal for diabetics who need to ensure that their glucose levels aren’t too high.
That tech has yet to find its way into the Apple Watch, but it could be groundbreaking if it did. The Apple Watch has also been credited for saving many lives after it alerted wearers to potential heart problems.
