Apple acquires startup focused on monitoring asthma in children

Mackenzie Garrity -

Apple has purchased Tueo Health, a startup that has been developing an app that monitors children with asthma, for an undisclosed amount, CNBC reports.

It is unclear when Apple completed the acquisition; however, it is suspected Apple picked up Tueo Health in late 2018 when Tueo Health's CEO and COO changed their employer to Apple on LinkedIn, according to CNBC.
