Google's new partnership could be the cure for Wear OS's health data headaches

Google partners with Masimo for exclusive health features on Wear OS.

While Google takes charge of the Wear OS experience, the smartwatch makers are still responsible for building and integrating fitness tracking from scratch. Thanks to the new partnership, Google has secured a license for Masimo's blood oxygen tracking tech that Apple sidestepped, along with a range of other health features. It offers a bunch of health tracking tools, such as Masimo’s biosensing tech, that aim for accurate data and easy syncing with Android phones.
