The Microsoft Band 2 integrates Cortana in Android and adds heart rate reading in Windows 10

In the midst of operation bikini maelstrom before the arrival of summer, the parks, streets, squares... are filled with users practicing sports of any kind and many of them do so accompanied by a quantifying bracelet. There are many brands and models and among this range Microsoft has its own, the Microsoft Band 2

A bracelet that has recently received an interesting update (another one) but that still lacked some essential function to carry out strict surveillance and control of our daily activity.And it is that one of the parameters that remained to be monitored with the Microsoft Band 2 was that of the different zones of heart rate

This is already possible thanks to the most recent update of the Microsoft Band 2 through the Microsoft He alth application, which we remember, is already a universal application (UWP). In this way and thanks to this _update_ we will be able to control which is the area in which our heart rate moves and when we are reaching dangerous peaks or for example when we leave the fat burning zone.

The application is updated for both mobile and desktop devices but also it is updated on another platform such as AndroidAnd it is that the use of an Android terminal is not incompatible with wearing a Microsoft Band 2 on the wrist.

In this case the new features introduced are mainly two:

• Fix double notification for Android users.
• Cortana integration for Android.

In this way, users of an Android terminal can transmit voice commands and thus interact with the assistant without having to touch the phone . Therefore they will be able to receive notifications of messages, calendar events, etc…

A very welcome update and also nothing superfluous (in the case of heart rate), as there are users who need to know the areas in which their heart rate moves periodically for he alth reasons, so this possibility will be tremendously useful as it puts the Microsoft Band 2 on a par with other options of the competition.
