The latest reports surrounding a long-awaited Apple smartwatch, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, reinforce earlier claims that it will be a device focused first and foremost on health and well-being. In February, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Apple was looking to create a device that can predict a medical emergency and that a team, headed by Tomlinson Holman, was "exploring ways to predict heart attacks by studying the sound blood makes at it flows through arteries." Meanwhile in April, Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis told investors that the 'iWatch' would feature a UV sensor built by US firm Silicon Labs that would help users reduce their risk of sunburn. Apple has already held meetings with the FDA regarding the device and the Wall Street Journal's sources say that the reason for this obsession with health is to make sure the 'iWatch' is a significantly different product not only from a smartphone but from other smartwatches already on the market or due for launch in the coming months.
