The Cupertino company is working on a new non-invasive technology that will allow the Apple Watch to keep diabetes under control
The next Apple Watch could be truly revolutionary. After the rumors of the past months that have more or less announced the possible innovations (the screen could be circular for the first time), from the United States comes another important news: the Apple Watch 3 could be capable of measuring diabetes.
It may seem like a small thing, but for many people with diabetes is a real revolution: needles and ad hoc devices will not be necessary to measure glucose levels, but just activate the sensors of the smartwatch. The technology is not invasive and will allow any user to keep under control the level of diabetes and know at any time if you have exceeded the alert level. According to the well-informed Apple has been working on the new technology for more than five years, with researchers and biomedical engineers.
The last project of Steve Jobs
For Apple, the project also takes on a special flavor: in fact, it is one of the last ideas on which Steve Jobs had worked. The founder of the Cupertino company had much at heart the fate of diabetics and had created a team that had to study solutions to fight it. And it seems that they succeeded. The operation of the technology will be very simple: sensors will measure the glucose level through the skin, without having to “pierce” any of the person’s fingers. After analyzing the diabetes, the sensors will interface with the Apple Watch that will show the level of diabetes. All very easy and effective. We’ll have to wait a few more months to see if the technology will make its debut on the Apple Watch 3.
