The device may also have uses across the Google launched Baseline Study to accumulate anonymous data for defining a healthy human. Verily has released a suite of Study Kit apps last year to help baseline participants sharing their health information and habits with researchers on a routine basis.

The Verily developed device offers a number of connectivity options including cellular, wireless a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth and NFC technologies. It allows medical devices to interface with through multiple ways. The new gadget is capable of using open source software and allows users to charge and sync their Study Kit devices via a USB cable, reports IoT Hub.

The lone known general use of the new Verily device is an experimental health-tracking wristband, according to a Google discussion. The wristband is capable of measuring pulse, skin temperature and skin information like noise levels.

Google has been reportedly developing software to help researchers securely store, analyze and interpret data from the wristbands with the connectivity bridge. However, all the health data of the participants will be made anonymous before sharing with Google. Through the new gadget, Verily upholds its goal to shift the focus from intervention to prevention.
