Microsoft Health is a cloud-based platform that stores health and fitness data. Its app, which runs on Android, iOS and Windows Phone, is available now.

The platform combines data from different health and fitness devices in one location, and its Intelligence Engine will crunch the data therein.

"The fact that Microsoft released its Health app to competing OSes indicates it's more interested in its software and data success," Harry Wang, director of mobile and health research at Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld.

"Forget the band, if Microsoft Health can be on millions of iPhones and Android phones," Wang continued.
