The range includes blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, body analysis scales, pulse oximeters (for measuring oxygen levels) and activity and sleep trackers. They all come with a free mobile app for monitoring, viewing, storing health information. All data is stored securely in the cloud. As well as these consumer products, iHealth offers enterprise solutions that can be used by organisations to connect healthcare professionals and patients.
Commenting on the agreement, Michael Cain, Business Development Manager for New Technologies at Tech Data, said: “The iHealth range is a great addition to our portfolio. This is a very exciting and rapidly growing area of the market and one with massive potential. The connected health marketplace is effectively about helping people better understand the signals our bodies send out, so we as individuals can become the key player in our own healthcare. iHealth’s comprehensive ecosystem enables you to calculate your health data, track your results and securely share them with your health professionals. This is a huge step forward. Together we’re going to be investing strongly in raising awareness and developing business for personal and corporate digital healthcare products over the next few months, so this is an important signing for us.”
