Upcoming Digital Health Startup Levongo has announced that it is ready to add support for AppleWatch as well as encouraging health-related habits for Fitbits and Samsung Viereables.

The Health Tech Newcomer has focused primarily on helping companies like Microsoft and Amazon, who monitor the chronic medical conditions such as diabetes. Now it is ready to offer smartwatch-friendly software that gives personalized "health nude" to users through information to make better health decisions.

This information alleviates that users can alert themselves to breakfast or to provide nutritional advice for special meals in the day before breakfast. This nudge will not be a general reaction and according to Livingango, each user is designed to target individually.

Users will also be able to participate in the five-day challenges designed to provoke long-term changes in your health. Livongo can also collect data recorded by packaged sensors in your wearable and provide the option to upload daily count count in your app to help make challenges and nudge more personalized.

Startup has already rolled out an Alexa Skills for Amazon's Echo Smart Home devices, which enables users to get blood glucose readings and health tips. But as Apple, Samsung, Fitbits and others make great progress in the field of health, we hope we will see more such integration between health technology companies and wearable manufacturers.

Apple is already saving life with the ECG technology built in its Watch Series 4, while the choice of Fitbit, Samsung and Garmin has already added support for serious health apps such as cardiogram and forest drops diabetes management software. It is safe to say that there are no variants to track your step, run and sleep time.
