Bell is developing wearable technology it claims is better than Apple Watch or Fitbit

Bell is developing wearable-device technology it claims is superior to an Apple Watch or Fitbit, The Logic has learned. 

The technology measures its wearer’s heart rate, temperature, speed and location, among other variables. The telecommunications giant is looking at rolling out a version for use by the general population, as well as features for diabetics and the elderly, and some that could be used to monitor parolees and prisoners.
