Our small and stylish wrist device measures your heart rate reliably and accurately from your wrist, without the need for a chest belt.”
The digital health and fitness category continues to soar, driving growth in the overall consumer technology market. In fact, research from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® found that more than 40 million personal health and wellness products were expected to sell in 2013, with that number expected to increase to more than 70 million by 2018. According to CEA, product sales and software and service revenues will see the largest growth, generating more than $3.3 billion in revenue in 2013 and more than $8 billion by 2018.
"We’re excited to return to CE Week in New York,” said Marco Peluso, CEO, Qardio. “Qardio makes healthcare smarter and we’re looking forward to showing how blood pressure and heart monitoring can be made reliable and yet easy to use."
