Lifestyle Health Management
Expanding the ANT+ managed network program into wellness was a natural progression for ANT+ interoperability. Successfully established in sport and fitness, ANT+ will enable monitoring systems to also fill system requirements in the consumer health sector:
- Aging Independently – medication reminders, motion sensors, personal tracking, emergency services
- Health and Fitness Management (including weight management and training programs) – heart rate monitors, activity monitors, calorimeters, weight scales, body mass index measurements, linked fitness equipment, etc.
- Disease Management – blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, pulse oximeters, etc.
The seamless connection of ANT+ to virtual markets results in unified communications and mobile data collection solutions. This in turn fills the requirements to increase efficiencies in healthcare delivery for governments, employers and individuals.
Utilizing the ANT protocol and ANT+ network, wellness devices are able to communicate with sport, health and home monitoring systems alike.
