    A phone that doubles as your running coach

    March 10th, 2008

    by Tony Chen

    We posted a while back on the concept of a "wellness phone." Now Adidas and Samsung have partnered up to create a Fitness phone called "miCoach". Read this journalist's first experience with miCoach. Billed as a "total coaching system," it can measure your current fitness level (run a mile w/ it strapped on your arm & the chip in your shoe) and your pulse. It talks to you. And its coupled with programs on the web to track progress.

    More accurately, I wonder if this is more accurately billed as a "runner's phone", but nonetheless, continue to expect more healthcare applications/programs showing up on our phones. Convergence is the name of game. These healthcare applications/technologies won't work as separate one-off programs - they've got the be integrated into daily life (e.g. facebook, cell phone, google?).
