CNBC was not able to measure how accurate these readings are, but says the app provides “medical-grade accuracy proven against medical equipment.” Watch CNBC demo the app on the CES floor. » Subscribe to CNBC TV: » Subscribe to CNBC: » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
