Fitness wearables market to hit USD 10 bln in 5 years
2015-11-17 13:27:00| Telecompaper Headlines

The NFL and others have partnered with Microsoft and Zebra Technologies for live data visualisation and new ways for fans to understand games. Devices offering heart-rate tracking, blood-oxygen levels and other advanced fitness tracking capabilities are becoming more popular.
