Bluetooth® technology allows you to talk wirelessly using a headset paired with your phone, a car hands-free system connected to your phone, or listen to music with a set of Bluetooth wireless stereo headphones.
The growth in smartphones continues to explode. Phones now have the computing power to run applications, while collecting and analyzing information from wireless sensors in new and innovative ways.
Phones now include dual-mode chips supporting Bluetooth Smart and the classic Bluetooth technology in virtually all of today's phones (for compatibility with current Bluetooth devices).
These phones function as "gateway" devices collecting vital medical and fitness information about people from tiny sensors on their body and send it to their doctor or other healthcare provider via the Internet.
The information-gathering role of smartphones isn’t limited to medical devices. Smartphones will also be able to harvest wireless information from sensors in your phone, your car, and many other places.
