The report, which was obtained by ETNews, focuses on the possibilities of level measurement
Blood glucose measurement, alsoknown as sugar levels, it is vital for diabetic patients. Usually, a blood sample is required to measure blood glucose. Typically, a glucometer or CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) system is used for this purpose. The ability to observe any significant increase or decrease in blood glucose levels raises awareness of a potential health condition, or may simply help improve a user's diet.
Apple reportedly received patents formonitoring blood glucose levels, and the company is now allegedly "focused on ensuring the reliability and stability of the technology before commercialization." The optical sensor, developed by Apple, is considered an innovative continuous monitoring solution that does not require implantation.
Apple has been interested inadding blood glucose monitoring to Apple Watch. In 2017, the company created a team of biomedical engineers and consultants specifically working on sensors for non-invasive blood sugar monitoring. Work on the sensor has reportedly moved on to trials at clinical centers in the San Francisco area. Apple CEO Tim Cook has even been spotted testing a prototype glucose monitor connected to his Apple Watch.
