Livongo combines human support, real-time data, and technology into a diabetes management program that truly engages participants.

The company is still deciding whether it's going to be cardiovascular disease or diabetes; this service may not be entirely an in-house production of Teladoc.

Also, the new version of Android Wear supports standalone apps that will be able to run only on the watch, with no need to have a connected smartphone around.

The news comes on the heels of last year's call that was focused on virtual health solutions; currently, 19 companies participate in StartUp Health Academy.

The company aims to address social determinants of health, and coordinate care between providers and social services for Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries.

The solution connects PTs and patients between sessions to promote better outcomes while providing an additional revenue stream for physical therapy practices.

The two companies will work together to design what they say is the world's first wireless connected thermometer embedded into a remote patient monitoring kit.

The service is made to lift the virtual barriers between the supply (hospitals) and demand generators (insurers, employers), and their telehealth services.

In Q1, we saw a number of new fitness trackers and smartwatches introduced, price reductions, and greater participation within emerging wearables categories.

Some of the running features that were enabled with the new wearable are personal records, virtual pacer, Auto Pause, Auto Lap and walk/run mode.
