Advanced Health Sensors
Apple CEO Tim Cook believes that the company’s biggest contribution to mankind may end up being health. And, looking back at reports of the Apple Watch and iPhone helping to save lives, it becomes pretty clear that health is a priority over in Cupertino — and it may just be Apple’s most meaningful area of interest.
But despite the initial success of health systems on the Apple Watch and the iPhone, it doesn’t look like the company is done in the health sphere yet. In fact, Apple’s healthcare ambitions are likely one of the most exciting endeavors that the company is currently developing.
Take, for example, the secretive fitness lab where Apple has collected more workout data than any entity in history. There are also rumors and patent applications for health-related technology, like a sensor that can “smell” blood glucose levels or an AR headset that could aid those with vision difficulties to see more of their surroundings.
As Apple’s consumer products become more wearable, this will all likely become more important. And while we don’t expect an “Apple Health Center” anytime soon, it’s becoming clear that the company has big plans in the wellness and health industry.
