Apple Developing Pain-Free Blood Sugar Monitoring for Apple Watch to Help Diabetics
-
Apple is developing non-invasive blood glucose monitoring for Apple Watch to help diabetics.
-
Current glucose testing is expensive, painful, and requires finger pricks and a glucometer.
-
Apple appointed Tim Millet, a veteran executive, to lead the Apple Watch glucose monitoring team.
-
The technology uses lasers under skin to measure blood glucose levels.
-
The hardware is currently iPhone-sized, so must be sharply miniaturized to fit into an Apple Watch.
