Connected fitness trackers to double by 2019

Global revenue of connected fitness trackers will rise from last year's more than $2 billion to $5.4 billion by 2019, according to a new study, "Digitally Fit: Products and Services for Connected Consumers," conducted by research firm Parks Associates.

The top devices being switched on by consumers are digital pedometers featuring wireless connectivity. The most popular connected fitness equipment used by providers in the healthcare and exercise industry are tools featuring built-in app support, notes the study.

The growth illustrates increasing consumer demand for mHealth devices for tracking and monitoring everything from steps walked and miles run to vital signs such as heart rate and respiration. That means device makers need to be cognizant of various users' needs and wants, Harry Wang, director of health and mobile product research at Parks Associates, in says in an announcement.
