Apple Takes Out Tiny Medical Startup Glimpse
Apple has acquired Gliimpse, a personal data collection startup, for an undisclosed sum. The move, which was earlier reported by Fast Company, should bolster Apple’s broader ambitions to expand its presence in the health industry.
Gliimpse was founded in Silicon Valley in 2013. According to its website, the company’s goal is to create “personalized and shareable medical records” for every American across the country. The goal was to offer a product that puts a person’s personally identifiable information—everything from a glucose number to Potassium levels—into a digital archive that both they and their doctors can access.
