Azoi, a US-based technology company has launched Wello, a smartphone case, that is also a health monitoring device. It fits into a smartphone, and can measure heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, electrocardiography (ECG), blood oxygenation, lung functions and more. It can pass on gathered information to the Wello app, available for both iOS and Android.
