Earlier this year a story commissioned by Qualcomm and published on Quartz promised fitness trackers would soon be able to transmit data directly to physicians. Predictably, Qualcomm has plans to be the centerpiece in this future with its 2net platform, a cloud service that helps fitness wearables communicate with outside networks. The technology isn’t meant to encourage people to stay committed to their trackers, after a recent study found more than half the people who own fitness trackers in America have stopped using them.
