Google is playing catch-up to Apple and Samsung in the race to be market leader in wearable health software. The tech giant is working on a device called Google Fit to rival Apple's HealthKit and Samsung's Galaxy Gear 2 and the Galaxy Gear Fit. Sources say the company is working overtime to launch its product so it is not left behind. Google is hoping to be the first company to provide a device using the Android operating system. This is Google's second foray into this market. The first product was called Google Health, which did not gain traction with consumers as it did not offer the kind of information fitness enthusiasts and health buffs were after.
