Microsoft Health Breaks Into the Wearable Device Lifestyle Market

The Microsoft Health app launched on Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Matt Barlow, General Manager of New Devices for Microsoft, tells TheStreet's Jill Malandrino it allows the user to store, analyze and share the data across multiple apps, especially when paired with the new wearable device, Microsoft Band. Barlow explains now is a great time for Microsoft to enter this market because more and more people care about health and the impact of their daily activities. In fact, Barlow says this category will grow to over 200 million unit device sales per year in the next five years and their is a lot of room to grow.
