Apple's Secret Wearable Tags for Health and Fitness Tracking.

Apple tried to hide its involvement in a new patent application for wearable tags that monitor health-related data such as sun exposure, posture, activity tracking, and fall detection. The tags can be placed on clothing or the body and controlled by an iPhone to provide real-time and historical data. The tags may contain different sensors and charge using solar or kinetic energy. The patent application was filed under the names of the engineers involved, but Apple's name is now on the patent application as the applicant.

Apple's Disguised Patent Application Hints at New Wearable Tags

Apple has filed a patent application for wearable tags that can be attached to clothing or worn on the body to perform various health and sports functions, including posture monitoring, sun exposure monitoring, physical therapy, running assistance, fall detection, fitness/activity tracking, motion tracking, medical applications, biometric applications, and personal training. The patent was originally filed in 2020 under the names of Apple's engineers to avoid detection, but has now been published with Apple listed as the applicant. While Apple already offers fitness and activity tracking through the Apple Watch, the wearable tags could provide more detailed analysis of sports skills.
