Microsoft May Have Launched a Band of Gold

October 29, 2014

Microsoft Health is a cloud-based platform that stores health and fitness data. Its app, which runs on Android, iOS and Windows Phone, is available now.

The platform combines data from different health and fitness devices in one location, and its Intelligence Engine will crunch the data therein.

"Forget the band, if Microsoft Health can be on millions of iPhones and Android phones," Wang continued.
