Users will be able to place the device on various body parts, including their hands, legs, neck, and chest, according to the patent document.
By connecting the Wearable Tag to an iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad, users will be able to control it. The paired device will aid in locating the tag and provide users with a variety of options for tracking their fitness and health.
