This news is in line with rumors that Apple is working on fitness and health-focused iOS software (iOS 8) that will launch later this year. Those apps also rumored to integrate with the iWatch, which would come with a variety of intelligent sensors that can track your body's movement and health status.
Although Lamego joined Apple in January, the company has been adding staffers for research and development of the rumored iWatch for some time now.
Michael O'Reilly, the former chief medical officer and executive VP for medical affairs at Masimo, joined Apple last summer to work on the iWatch, but according to 9to5Mac, it's not his only project. The company is also currently looking to hire a user studies exercise physiologist.

The front and curved back of the iPhone 6 concept design.
Apple is rumored to launch two new iPhones later this year: one with a screen larger than 4.5 inches and one with a screen larger than 5 inches.
Ciccarese's vision for an iPhone with a 5.5-inch display (1,568 x 878 pixels) as well as one with a 4.7-inch (1,338 x 750) display. The 4-inch iPhone 5S (1,138 x 649) is shown to the left.
The move from the iPhone 4-inch display would dip into the much-debated "phablet" category.
Designer Federico Ciccarse opted to give his concepts a curved back, even though The Wall Street Journal indicated the coming models will be flat.
