Speculation has mounted that Apple may be developing a health monitoring device after it secured a number of patents relating to the technology. The company is also rumoured to have been working on an iWatch for some time and was reportedly planning to launch one in early 2014. Back in July, Amazon started a secret lab at its Seattle headquarters to explore business prospects in the healthcare sector, including EHRs and telemedicine. In June it was reported that Apple was working on an app to put patients' medical records on to their iPhone to help them manage their health.
