????A fitness expert. A sleep scientist. A pair of high-profile CEOs from the fashion industry. Lots of hardware and software engineers with expertise in wireless, non-invasive bionsensing -- measuring everything from respiration rates to glucose and oxygen levels in the blood. ????What are these people doing at Apple (AAPL)? ????Working on the so-called iWatch, according to9to5Mac's Mark Gurman. Gurman on Friday published profiles of the team Apple has assembled to build the widely anticipated but still unannounced product, including nearly a dozen recent hires. ????Who Apple hired and what it hired them for may be the best clue we'll get to what Apple has up its sleeve. ????Below: Brief summaries of Gurman's roster in the order he presents them. ????? Kevin Lynch: Former chief technology officer at Adobe. Joined Apple last March. Now manages a large in-house team of former iPod and iOS developers. ????? Jay Blahnik: Fitness expert. From Nike.

He was the director of Nike's "Innovation Kitchen," the R&D lab that produced the FuelBand and the Flyknit shoe. ????? Ueyn Block: Was director of engineering at C8 MediSensor, which developed a non-invasive way to glucose levels and other vital signs. ????? Nancy Dougherty: Hardware engineer. At Proteus Digital Health she worked on smart patches and ingestible, Bluetooth-connected smart pills. Most recently, she worked as a hardware lead for Sano Intelligence, whose tagline reads "the API for the bloodstream." ????? Todd Whitehurst: Hardware development. As Senseonics's VP of hardware engineering, he ran the engineering team for a wireless, smartphone-connected body sensor for monitoring glucose levels in real time. ????? Michael O'Reilly: Former chief medical officer for Masimo, which markets a wireless pulse oximeter for the iPhone. ????? Ravi Narashamian: Expert in biosensors and wireless communications. At Vital Connect he focused on sensors for measuring respiration and activity levels with wearable devices. |
