Apple is widely expected to launch health-monitoring software for its mobile operating system, possibly as soon as iOS 8, which should make its developer debut at WWDC this June. The software would monitor and track various aspects of a userโs health, andย 9to5Macโs Mark Gurman has a new report out todayย that details exactly how that might work.ย
Seven years out from the original iPhoneโs introduction, and four years past the iPadโs launch, Apple has found its next market ripe for reinvention: the mobile healthcare and fitness-tracking industry.ย Appleโs interest in healthcare and fitness tracking will be displayed in an iOS application codenamed Healthbook. Iย first wrote about Appleโs plans for Healthbook in January, and multiple sources working directly on the initiativeโs development have since provided new details and images of Healthbook that provide a clearer view of Appleโs plans for dramatically transforming the mobile healthcare and fitness-tracking spaceโฆ
