Apple Watch

Apple's wearable is used to support Ochsner's Hypertension Digital Medicine Pilot Program which tracks patients struggling to control their blood pressure.

Unlike traditional doctor visits, Heal doctors spend as much time as needed with each patient for a fixed fee of $99, anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The application integrates Apple HealthKit data from users' monitoring devices and then applies medical intelligence to generate individual notifications.

Major healthcare companies have started lining up to announce their commitment to what could easily be the next most popular wearable device in the world.

The WatchKit site includes guides, human interface guidelines, templates and more, enabling developers to create actionable notifications and Glances.

The idea is to rely on modern mobile technologies to measure on a continuous basis health indicators that are currently measured only in face-to-face visits.

Packing a number of different sensor, the device will be available in early 2015 starting at $349; Apple wants to "redefine what people expect" from a watch.
