The wristband can measure the wearer's pulse, heartbeat, skin temperature and activity level, PC World reported.
Quoting Google, PC World said the device can also monitor the patient's behavior outside the hospital or clinic.
Google's life sciences group developed the wristband, which PC World said looks like a smartwatch with a square display.
PC World quoted Google spokesperson Jacquelyn Miller as saying Google now working with research partners to see if a constant stream of data can help doctors treat diseases better.
However, Miller said it may take years before they could measure how useful the device is.
Also, the device is not your typical consumer wearable - it's strictly for a medical setting.
Google has also not indicated if the device would run Android Wear. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
