Way back during CES 2011 we talked about an interesting health gadget from Withings that let your iPhone take your blood pressure. The catch was that the device needed a cable to be connected between the iPhone and the blood pressure cuff. And if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that wires suck.
Withings was back at CES 2014 with a new and updated version of this iPhone blood pressure machine. It’s called simply enough the Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor. There is now no wire between the smartphone and the cuff to take a reading.
Notice that I said smartphone, as the new wireless monitor works with both the iPhone and Android devices. The app controls the show and swiftly displays blood pressure readings and heart rate. It will even archive your readings for you. The Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor will ship soon for $129.95(USD).

Samsung mentioned its S Health app in passing during the grand unveiling of the Galaxy S III -- presumably due to the glut of similarly S-suffixed apps and services that were also unveiled. The service has now apparently launched in Samsung's homeland, alongside more details of what it'll offer. This includes a raft of metric-measuring charts, as well as the ability to connect through Bluetooth and USB to health devices like heart-rate monitors and connectivity-friendly scales. The app will record and even graph your health ups and downs, aiming to help "regulate" what you eat and gauge exactly how much you exercise. It has now launch on Samsung's App hub and will make its way to the US and five to-be-confirmed European countries soon. Let Samsung explain the "warm emotional experience" in a Google-translated release right after the break.
Update: We've just received the English version of the PR, which adds that the app is now live in the UK, alongside an initial list of compatible health devices. Take a look after the break.
