With new mobile health and fitness apps appearing on the market daily – and falling into anonymity just as quickly – two well-known app developers are joining forces to bolster their platform and establish some security.
Azumio, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based developer of mobile biofeedback technologies and personal health applications, has announced the acquisition of SkyHealth, makers of several well-known apps, including Fitness Buddy and Glucose Buddy. Company officials say the merger gives the more than 15 health and fitness apps in SkyHealth’s product portfolio more visibility and stability, while bringing new app development talent onboard at Azumio.
