As usual, numerous rumors appear when the presentation of a product approaches. Although we still do not know anything official about dates or how Apple is going to face the product presentations this year, we are already beginning to talk about new iPhone models, as is normal, and also a new Apple Watch.
This new watch model would have, apparently as one of the novelties to highlight, a sensor with which to monitor blood sugar level, thus helping diabetics to have better control in their daily life. According to a report, Apple has a team of biomedical engineers working on this project.
This idea, originally from Steve Jobs, who had already raised the possibility of using their products to have greater control over the health of each user, is being worked on in strict secrecy at Apple's headquarters, in the Cupertino offices.
If these rumors were true, the patients suffering from diabetes would be in luck, since with the sensor incorporated in the watch, the blood tests to check the blood sugar status that these patients perform daily would end. The biomedical engineers working on the project aims to assist patients with continuous non-invasive glucose monitoring.
The report where all the information is collected, states that Apple has been working on this initiative for at least 5 years. The technology involves optical sensors that are capable of measuring the amount of glucose in the blood through the user's skin.
If we finally have a watch / tool on the market capable of measuring the amount of glucose in the blood, Apple will have achieved turn a device of yours into an indispensable health accessory for many users. It is a fact that the North American company wishes to grant more health applications to its Watch to make it more and more useful.
