Consumer

Amidst the unveiling of its newest consumer smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, the tech company said it will begin enrolling consumers into its hearing, cardiovascular and women's health studies later this year through an upcoming app.

Representatives from Oura Ring, Arc Fusion, FitnessGenes, Everlywell and Headspace will take the stage at Health 2.0 to demo products and discuss the future of consumer-focused digital health.

The Venu watch includes sleep tracking, respiration tracking, abnormal heart rate alerts and menstrual cycle tracking. 

The platform will let users request birth control, get a UTI prescription and schedule an in-person appointment. 

Google has teamed up with GN Hearing and Cochlear to launch a new feature that uses Bluetooth Low Energy. 

The new goggles will also tell users about their performance and how many calories they burned. 

Users can book medical, optometry, audiology, behavioral, dental and immunization appointments at Walmart Clinics.  

Despite high net losses, investors are bullish on the company. But others see it as a high-end fitness fad.

When users search for vaccine information on Pinterest they will get information from sources like the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. 

The new consumer-focused service comes paired with the announcement of the Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch and the Fitbit Aria Air connected scale.
