The end of the dozens of daily stabs that diabetics have to go through every day?
The next generation of Apple's smartwatch, the Apple Watch 7, will allow blood sugar to be measured without stabbing, according to a report in the
Korean
ET News
magazine
.
As you may recall, the technology giant has recently emphasized a variety of improved sensors for better monitoring of users' health.
The publication shows that like other health applications that the company has integrated into smartwatches over the years, after measuring the sugar level, the user will have options to view a detailed chart and share the information with the family doctor or family member.
Apple, on the other hand, emphasizes that the watch does not provide medical information, but is only intended to provide general information about the user's health.
The initial development of the technology was initiated by the late Apple founder Steve Jobs who predicted wearable products, such as smart watches, that would monitor oxygen levels, heart rate and sugar levels.
According to a 2017 report, Apple has set up a secret project in which it has hired a team of biomedical engineers to develop sensors that can consistently and non-invasively monitor blood sugar levels.
About two years ago, the company stunned when it first unveiled the Apple Watch 4 series, which included support for performing an ECG test and automatic fall detection, with the option to independently call emergency centers. Last year, Apple added a sixth-generation oxygen saturation sensor. Within 15 seconds.
The public interest has led to a change in policy on the part of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who said that “we are wary of medical developments because in the end we will have to get them approved by the US FDA which will slow down the pace of development.
"I would be prepared for other medical devices to be attached to the watch that would be related to it, but not for the watch itself to become a medical tool."
