Health Tracking Via Smartphone Case

Azoi Mobile Technologies claims customers will be able to track blood pressure, ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen, temperature, lung function and more "with clinical accuracy" using the Wello smartphone health tracker.

Wello "Over the last two years, we have focused our efforts on coming up with a technologically advanced yet easy-to-use tool to help you monitor health and facilitate better lifestyle choices," Azoi CEO Hamish Patel says. "We have effectively put health monitoring equipment, typically in large form factors, into a highly convenient and accessible mobile phone case."

The Wello looks like a regular smartphone case, and connects to devices via Bluetooth LE. Once paired with a companion app, users simply need to hold the device for a short time before hidden sensors provide "key data" about one's health in infographic form.

It also takes data from other fitness devices such as pedometers, wifi scales and sleep trackers, and an included spirometer attachment measures lung function once users blow into it. For further expansion a "universal port" allows the connection of future accessories Azoi might have in the works.

The case only fits iPhones (4S, 5, 5S) but is still compatible with Androids, if as a standalone connected device.

Wello preorders are currently open in the EU, with shipments set to start around Q3 2014.
