Said like this it may sound strange but we are really close to what could be the first step towards the launch of an Apple Watch capable of measuring blood glucose without need for a puncture. The Cupertin company supplier, or Rockley Photonics, officially entered the testing phase of a sensor capable of offering this data with a non-invasive method.
In principle since Rockley they say that they will add this sensor directly from a separate Apple bracelet but possibly on future Apple Watch models. Rockley has been working on various types of sensors for a long time, including the simplest ones such as measuring heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, hydration and body temperature.
But the sensor that raises the most interest in media and users is undoubtedly the most technologically advanced speaking, and it is that it does allow the Measurement of blood sugar, carbon monoxide, lactate or even allows the measurement of blood alcohol level. Well now this sensor is the one they would be testing in its near-final version.
This UK electronics startup is working on more sensitive versions of sensors like the ones on the Apple Watch that would be capable of measuring all this data. The probe sensor they are working with already in the final phase would be a new non-invasive method capable of obtain data from under the skin to analyze the blood.
At the moment they are in the testing phase and that is why we must be cautious about the possible implementation of these sensors in the Apple Watch, we must wait for results from the company and then be able to implement them on devices such as the Apple watch. If this ends up really coming, it would be a revolution in the absence of seeing the cost of the Apple Watch with this built-in sensor.
