AppSwarm begins beta testing new smartwatch device for health market

AppSwarm, a software development company and aggregator of mobile applications, has announced it has begun beta testing its own brand of consumer smartwatches for the wearable health and longevity market.

The new smartwatch devices will provide health data to users and open the door to customized add-on subscription cloud services, according to the company.

The AppSwarm team is currently testing the new device’s functionality, and the mobile SDK for data integration with third-party applications. Upon successful completion of testing, the company will conduct an initial soft launch. It is hopeful that this will happen by the end of 2021.

The new smartwatch will include features such as activity tracking, heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, sleep monitoring and a sports mode.

The company will utilize data generated from its wearable devices and sensors to develop cloud-based analytics that will monitor and analyze a user’s health data through long-term dataset development, utilizing artificial intelligence.

AppSwarm also plans to integrate its wearable devices with the GTX SmartSole platform to enable the collected biometric data to be sent to a central hub in the cloud without the need for a smartphone.

Chris Bailey, CEO of AppSwarm, said, “Our core mission is to develop technologies and applications for the betterment of mankind. Data has shown technology has had a negative effect on human health, both physical and mental, from the rise of metabolic diseases, depression, and anxiety. But we feel technology, deployed properly, can also be used to refocus human behavior back to a more positive aspect. Our focus on smart devices geared toward human health goes towars our mission to leverage technology that can potentially assist society and expand human longevity.”

A more detailed roadmap and timeline of AppSwarm’s smart device operations will be released in the coming months.
