Hi Linda,

 

I was telling my pulmonary doctor last year that I didn’t care about a fit bit but I we should invent something like that that would monitor your O2 levels!  I was in the Dr office about a month ago and found a ad for a unit called H.E.l.O).  It claims to monitor heart rate, sleep, blood pressure, calories, mood, energy, steps,… Read more
