On the way to explore non-invasive blood sugar monitoring functions for Apple Watch, Apple seems to have taken another step forward.BloombergMark Gurman of Apple claims that Apple’s stab-free solution has now reached a “proof-of-concept stage.” Its performance is good enough, and it may wait until the product size is further reduced to actually be able to hit the market. It uses lasers to measure the blood sugar concentration under the skin. Generally speaking, the hardware used in this type of technology will reach the size of a desktop, but it is said that a wearable prototype that has shrunk to the size of a mobile phone is already under development.
According to insiders, the program can not only help diabetic patients master their own physical conditions, but also remind early-stage patients to help them change their living habits to prevent the disease from progressing to type 2 diabetes. Naturally, Apple did not comment on the news, but considering that they may have been attacking related technologies since as early as 2010 (when the sick Jobs acquired blood glucose monitoring startup RareLight), it is not considered that such progress has been achieved until now. Surprisingly. If the future Apple Watch can really monitor blood sugar in a non-invasive way, it will be great news for both patients and Apple’s performance.
