The new Apple Watch 6 is boasting a blood oxygen monitor (amongst other health monitoring as well). In theory that is great. Love it. In reality and practically speaking, the question is where does this data go, what happens with this data, and how does the consumer (you) benefit?

Unless we solve the last mile issue and connect this data in real-time to a doctor/medical service to provide benefits to the consumer, it is just another device, another app on the internet, not providing any useful action and it ultimately has no impact. Fitbit has shown how we can collect extremely large amounts of data, however, does that data impact and correlate with the patient (in this case your) health? Let’s make sure IoT is not for image/PR and for impact, and IS helpful in meaningful ways for the consumer. What do you think?
