In a likely bid to unseat rival electronics maker Samsung, South Korean technology giant LG Electronics has gotten an FDA 510(k) clearance for a product called "LG Smarthealth." The move follows in the footsteps of Samsung, which got a related clearance for its S Health app last year, reports mobihealthnews.
To date, LG hasn't been publicizing the existence of Smarthealth on its website, but a number of its G3 smartphones do include LG Health, which tracks a range of activities including walking, running, cycling and inline skating, as well as and allowing users to set calorie or activity goals. As mobihealthnews notes, none of these functions require FDA clearance.
But with LG seeking FDA clearance, it's clear that the electronics manufacturer plans to roll out LG Smarthealth in a manner that provides explicitly medical functions.
