Wrist health monitoring bands

Apologies for the only obliquely aviation related question.

A friend of mine was travelling on a QF flight seated next to a QF capt and the capt in question had some sort of health monitoring band that looked at pulse/ecg type stuff and oxygen levels.

It paired back to his phone.

My friend ended up on o2 for various reasons and the capt concerned very kindly put the monitor on him and took some info, promising to send the info along via email together with info on the unit itself, but then got off at the other end and promptly forgot (the flight was a melbourne to brissie flight)

As we pilots are often fanbois of the latest and greatest toys he asked me if i knew of any such device, which i dont.

From the description it doesnt sound like a fit bit - it is a silver band thingie (like the technical terms?) with sensors on each end.

I have done some internet searching but not found anthing, so I have come here to see if any QF guys know of any such device - is it something a few blokes have and if anyone knows what it might be can they post here.

Any info most appreciated
