SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/18/14 — , a leading provider of software solutions for application and database development, is featuring the Wahoo Fitness Balance Smart Body Scale in this week–s “Developing the Internet of Things (IoT) Showcase.” The Wahoo Balance Scale tracks weight and body mass index, and wirelessly transmits that data to a computer, smartphone, or a Windows, iOS, or Android device via Bluetooth. The device, which collects and transmits bioinformatic data, is part of a new category of IoT telehealth solutions aimed at providing charts and graphs of a user–s progress.
Keeping track of personal health and fitness programs is a central aspect of IoT telehealth solutions. Extending and building connected apps for smart devices such as the Wahoo Balance Scale, allows users and telehealth professionals to collect and sort bioinformatic data for assessing preventative health behaviors, remote monitoring, and diagnosis. Information can be reviewed by health professionals in real-time, remotely, and as a supplement to doctor visits.
Application architecture in the IoT ecosystem aggregates information from multiple devices and form factors which is enabling new user experiences to connected devices, sensors, gadgets and wearables. With the Appmethod software development platform, developers can rapidly build natively compiled C++ apps that connect mobile and desktop devices, sensors, gadgets, wearables, cloud services, and data.
IoT telehealth solutions such as the Wahoo Balance Scale are enabling biometric data to be stored in the cloud so that data from different devices can be collated providing –observations of daily living– (ODL) and a holistic view of health. This not only helps improve the day-to-day health of individuals, but it also has the potential to save lives with real-time monitoring and reporting of critical health issues. Forms of ODL biometric data include, heart rate, sleeping patterns, level of exercise, blood pressure and glucose levels, transmission of pictures/audio/video, metrics for depression, obesity, and arthritis etc. The Wahoo Scale is one of many emerging new telehealth devices that can communicate with a connected app created using Appmethod.
