Google Fit: Google plans to launch a new platform named Google Fit, which will collect and present health and physical activity data from corresponding applications and related devices.
The revelation about Google Fit την έκανε το Forbes, το οποίο σε δημοσίευμά του υποστηρίζει ότι οι σχετικές ανακοινώσεις θα πραγματοποιηθούν κατά τη duration του συνεδρίου για δημιουργούς εφαρμογών, Google I/O, which will take place in the two-day 25 and 26 June.
Apparently one like that movement will be directly related to Android Wear, the operating system for wearable devices that Google introduced just last March and which is going to be integrated into smartwatches from various manufacturers (Motorola, Samsung, LG etc).
If the article confirms, Google will become the third technology company to focus on controlling the infrastructure associated with personal data.
Already in the month before Samsung announced it SAMI a cloud platform that will assume the safe transfer and processing of data coming from various devices for monitoring the physical activity and health of users.
At the same time, just last week, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), announced it HealthKit to monitor fitness data, which will work closely with the new operating system iOS 8.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Google will deal with health data, but it is the first time that it will be active in relation to wearable devices. Last January, the company announced plans to create an "intelligent" contact lens that can measure glucose levels in diabetics using embedded sensors connected to wireless transponders.
