Apple to release curved wearable health-monitor OLED device - Report

Apple is set to release a new wearable health-monitoring device, according to Nikkei.

According to a parts manufacturer, it will likely use a "curved organic light-emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen" -- an iWatch!

The device is in line with some of Apple's announcements at its WWDC 2014 related to biometric information and iOS 8.

From Nikkei:

The U.S. firm said Thursday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference that it will this autumn bring to market an upgraded mobile operating system for smartphones and tablet devices. The new watch-like wearable gear will run on this OS, which will be equipped with a centralized function to manage users' biometric information via smartphones. It is expected to hit the market in October.

Though the details of services have yet to be released, specs for the new product are being finalized, according to industry sources. It will likely use a curved organic light-emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen and collect health-related data, such as calorie consumption, sleep activity, blood glucose and blood oxygen levels. It will also allow users to read messages sent by smartphones.
