(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iGambit, Inc. (OTCQB:IGMB) is pleased to announce our first pilot launch on our much-awaited BioDatix Health Band.

HealthDatix will begin shipping our BioDatix Health Bands this month to a select group of clients, whose Care Team of professionals will embark on a September 2018 pilot program.

Over the past 18 months, HealthDatix’s focus has been on the software development on the new BioDatix Health Band, Android and iOS applications. The BioDatix Health Band will provide the ability to passively collect a wearer’s Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Blood Pressure, Sleep and Steps/Distance/Calories.

The data is then transmitted to our FDA approved back-end application producing trend reports and alerts. Identified “out of limit” or “unusual” baselines can then be managed by HealthDatix or our clients’ Care Team of professionals.  The Care Team professionals can receive alerts and send messages to any or all of the Wearer, Caregiver, Physicians and Physicians’ staff to facilitate better user engagement in managing their overall health.

This new product offering offers strategic synergies in multiple markets, healthcare, fitness, and employee wellness programs.

John Salerno, CEO of iGambit, stated: “The ability of our product and services to seamlessly integrate day-to-day, health-related activities into an application-health-based module is a game-changer in the healthcare market.”

 *The global wearable market has a potential to reach $32.9 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 67.6% during 2014 – 2020, according to new research published by Allied Market Research. Increasing demand for technologically advanced wearable medical devices, rising awareness regarding physical fitness, advent of new smartphone-linked healthcare applications, and growing demand for wireless connectivity in the healthcare industry are the key factors propelling the overall industry.
