The
rumour mills for Apple's much-anticipated iWatch wearable device now
suggest the firm has a total of 200 people working behind the curtain on
the project. It has been also mentioned that the smartwatch will be
'simpler' than what has been rumoured for the past few months. However,
the term 'simpler' is yet to be supported by details.
It
has been speculated that the Apple iWatch will follow on the same lines
as Samsung Galaxy Gear, which needs a smartphone to connect and work to
its fullest potential.
The latest rumours add the fact
that Apple has reportedly crossed its iWatch deadline and will be
missing out on features like glucose sensing, blood pressure tracking
and many more as hinted from the past rumours. This also means that the
Cupertino firm can stop worrying about the approval of documents by the
US FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
The above rumours,
attributed to Mobile Health News,
also reveal that Apple is currently not planning to clear its iWatch
from FDA. The meeting held recently was regarding the agency's final
guidance document on medical apps.
It has been
additionally mentioned that the concept of "Healthbook" is very much
possible, but the app might arrive with a different name. The app, apart
from its rumoured features, is said to focus on user's diet, sleep and
stress levels. The app might also concentrate specifically towards the
health of women.
According to some recent reports,
Healthbook will enable the users to monitor and store fitness data by
counting the steps taken, calories burned and miles walked. The
supposedly pre-installed app will also manage and track the user's
weight loss.
Healthbook is furthermore said to monitor the user's blood pressure hydration levels, heart rate and glucose levels.
