Jakarta –
Apple has been developing non-invasive blood sugar detection technology for a long time Apple Watchwith this technology it allows users or diabetic patients to know their sugar levels without having to inject them into their bodies for blood sampling.
But unfortunately, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, this sugar level monitoring technology will be launched between three to seven years.
Gurman said Apple still needs to perfect the algorithms and on-board sensors to bring the technology to market.
“Most importantly Apple also needs to shrink it down to a module size that can fit in a small, thin package on the Apple Watch. It will take another three to seven years at the very least.” said Gurman as quoted from detikINET Macrumors, Monday (27/3/2023).
Apple began working on an alternative glucose monitoring method after acquiring RareLight in 2010. The company then used a startup called Avolante Health LLC to develop the technology in a top-secret facility before transferring it to the Exploratory Design Group (XDG).
Apple has been conducting human trials for the last 10 years and is working to be able to warn Apple Watch users if they have pre-diabetes so as to encourage lifestyle changes before developing diabetes.
It is believed that Apple is currently holding initial discussions about obtaining regulatory approval for the technology.
