Amazon to Shut Down Its Halo Division in Latest Effort to Cut Costs

Amazon will no longer sell its Halo health and fitness tracker, the company announced Wednesday.

Amazon unveiled the health-tracking bracelet in 2020, marking its first foray into wearable devices and a deeper move into the health care space. Halo, in combination with an app, can track users’ activity, body fat and emotional state, and it’s integrated with Amazon’s Alexa digital assistant. Last year, Amazon expanded the Halo lineup with a bedside sleep tracker called the Halo Rise.

Amazon will stop supporting Halo devices and the Halo app on July 31. Users can delete their Halo health data from the app, and any remaining data will be deleted after Aug. 1, the company said.
