iHealth launches in the UK with iHealth Core

iHealth, a world leader in connected health, today announces the launch of its UK operations in conjunction with the launch of its new, connected body analysis weighing scale, iHealth Core. Established in Silicon Valley in 2009, iHealth designs and produces innovative health products that allow users to monitor, track and better understand their vital signs.

The notion of the quantified-self is front and centre as NHS England, in its Five Year Forward View, reiterates its commitment to preventive health, unveiling plans to back hard-hitting national action on major health risks such as obesity. An important part of this is NHS England’s Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS) programme, built on the concept that technology solutions have the ability to transform the way people engage in and control their own health, empowering them to manage it in a way that is right for them.

iHealth’s products and philosophy are aligned with this approach to health and technology. The company is dedicated to creating technology now and for the future, providing a private and secure platform for storing personal health data, allowing individuals to better understand their body.

“We are delighted to announce the launch of iHealth’s UK operations,” said Uwe Diegel, CEO, iHealth Europe. “Our goal is to design and manufacture healthcare products that offer consumers and patients the best possible user experience. iHealth allows people to become more involved in their own health by connecting to their doctor or friends and easily sharing daily vital signs. Our objective is to transform curative health into preventive health and the intelligent iHealth Core is a major step in achieving this.”

Hot off the heels of their company launch, iHealth also announces today its new body analysis weighing scale, the iHealth Core. The intelligent new scale offers a comprehensive and interactive approach to weight, as well as an innovative, real monitoring process allowing users to better understand their health progression. The connected iHealth scale uses Wi-Fi to synchronise and save users’ data in the free application iHealth MyVitals, available on iOS and Android.
