BLUETOOTH Technology Chosen as Health Device Standard

Personal health and fitness devices like heart rate monitors, watches, emergency pendants and health and fitness sensors will soon be wireless with Bluetooth technology, says Continua Health Alliance.

The health care and tech industry coalition named Bluetooth low energy technology as its choice for wireless technology within health and fitness devices. Expected out by the end of the year, consumers could see devices in the personal telehealth arena hit the market in 2010.
