Technology
"It's a Bluetooth fitness band packed full of sensors: optical heart rate sensing, 3-axis accelerometers with a gyroscope to track movement, GPS to track your runs even if you leave your phone at home, skin temperature, galvanic skin response presumably to measure sweating, ambient light and UV light, and a microphone so it can be used with Cortana on Windows Phone.
Feed more data into the cloud service, and it'll tell you more things. You'll be able to plumb it into Office, and it'll be able to tell you if having more meetings harms the quality of your sleep, or whether eating breakfast made you run any faster.
Microsoft Health is also designed to be a platform. If you use a Jawbone UP band, it'll work with Microsoft Health. If you track your runs with RunKeeper or MapMyFitness, they'll be able to share data with Microsoft Health.
Microsoft also wants the Microsoft Band to be a platform of sorts. Microsoft is offering to license 10 sensor module that powers the Band to third parties so that they too can build devices that track all this data."
