Amazon.com Inc is pulling the plug on its line of Halo health devices as chief executive officer Andy Jassy seeks to wind down marginal programmes and streamline the retail and cloud-computing giant’s businesses.

Halo – best known as a line of wrist-worn health and fitness trackers introduced in 2020 – will be discontinued on Aug 1, Amazon said in a statement posted to its corporate blog and a notice sent to people who had purchased the device. The product line had expanded in September with the introduction of the Halo Rise, a bedside device that uses radar to analyse a person’s sleep patterns.
