Jawbone acquires Spectros: While this acquisition quietly took place last year, MobiHealthNews broke the news in June: Jawbone secretly acquired a medical sensor company called Spectros and appointed its founder as their new Chief Medical Officer. The move gives weight to rumors that the struggling wearables company is shifting its focus to regulated medical device wearables. Spectros, an 11-year-old company with at least six patents and numerous published studies, specialized in using spectroscopy to create a range of non-invasive molecular sensors. In particular, commercial applications of the technology used it for pulse oximetry, and detection of perfusion and ischemia. The company's On-Call remote monitoring product allowed doctors to monitor their patients using a smartphone.
