Nintendo Makes Health the New Name of the Game

January 30, 2014

Given the principles that Nintendo has laid out, including "a hardware-centric ecosystem, non-wearable, quality of life improvement, I would guess it will be another accessory linked to its new hardware system with the ability to measure people's health and wellness indicators in a very nonintrusive manner," Harry Wang, director for health and mobile product research with Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld.

"The goal of the accessory and related software application is to provide a feedback loop informing people of their quality of life and raising health awareness," Wang explained.

"If it is not going to be wearable, it could be a stationary piece of software built into an everyday item that people use for fitness purposes," he suggested.
