In 2019, global revenues from connected fitness trackers will exceed $5 billion, with smartwatch sales exceeding 100 million units.

The idea is to make every step count, whether we're talking about exercising in a gym or in the park, or working out at home with Xbox Fitness.

Adoption of connected health devices increased from 24% of U.S. broadband households at the beginning of 2013 to nearly 30% by the end of 2014.

The device features 23 high quality embedded LED lights that display fitness data in mid-air as you jump; this information is also synced with a mobile app.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provided the money for the development of a novel Engagement Engine to support the sustained use of health and activity trackers.

Connected health devices and the data they generate will offer benefits to stakeholders and consumers, potentially improving preventative healthcare.

The new capability adds real-time bike stats, bike exercise summaries both on the app and web dashboard, along with the ability to see historical progress.

The watch comes wrapped in a stainless steel frame that sits on top of the anodized aluminum backing; it has two large buttons on the side used for navigating the menu.

The so called Apple of China is apparently working with Chinese fitness apparel giant Li Ning as well as Huami, which actually makes the Mi fitness band.

The company is currently running a Kickstarter campaign that wants to raise $30,000 to help bring the device that connects to VR headsets to market.
