   Philips unveiled its 'personal health program' at IFA 2015, which includes a number of wellness based connected devices.
   
   The standout offering is the Health Watch, which tracks such biometrics as heart rate, activity, and sleep patterns. When connected to the Philips HealthSuite app, users can measure their wellbeing and learn how to makebetter lifestyle choices thanks to a customised program.
   
   
   
   The watch includes an optical heart rate sensor
   
   nice, it has what they are really good at…..
   
   
   and accelerometer that continuously and automatically measures your biometric data. Philips claims that this watch is a medical device designed to "help prevent lifestyle induced chronic conditions."
   
   
   
   The data is synced with the Philips HealthSuite app, which is a cloud-based platform that collects and analyses data from the devices. The customised program is designed to help individuals understand how their lifestyle choices affect their health.
   
   Users will be connected with doctors and psychologists that provide personalised recommendations on setting and monitoring goals.
   
   Philips also announced a wide variety of other connected health devices for home use, including two types of blood pressure monitors (upper arm and wrist), an ear thermometer that is usable for all ages, including newborns, and an air purifier for people who suffer from allergies.
   
   
   
   One additional gadget of note that might be worth checking out is the body analysis scale, which measures weight, estimates body fat, and calculates BMI. Philips says the scale supports up to eight different profiles. This data is collected and analyzed through the HealthSuite app, too.

   The new health suite will go on sale in Germany starting in October 2015 and will roll out across other countries in 2016. Philips notes that these products are "not currently available for sale in the USA," which might mean the company is having difficulty getting approval from US health and privacy officials.
   
   These all fit firmly in the 'medical' rather than 'consumer' category and there's a lot more hoops to jump through once you stray into that world.
