Ads from an app that claims to measure a user’s blood sugar and blood pressure are scams and Apple needs to take notice.
My wife is a diabetic and multiple times each day she has to draw blood from a finger and place it on a disposable test strip inserted into a glucometer. This machine spits out her blood sugar reading helping her determine how much insulin she needs to inject into her body. It’s important for her to know this information because too large a dose could give her a low blood sugar or hypoglycemic reaction that could land her in a coma.
Poking yourself for the blood sample can be painful and the disposable test strips are expensive. This is why Apple has been working to develop a non-invasive blood glucose test for the Apple Watch. Samsung too is reportedly working on what we’ve called the “Holy Grail” for smartwatches.Harmoni-Health & Sleep claims to measure your blood sugar using your iPhone and the app
The number of diabetics worldwide that take insulin daily is as high as 200 million people which makes them a pretty big target to be scammed. Recently my wife received an ad on her iPhone for an app called Harmoni-Health & Sleep which indicated that the app could obtain the user’s blood glucose reading using the app on an iPhone. When I headed over to the App Store and looked at the app’s listing, there was not one word of this amazing achievement.
Harmoni Health & Sleep app seems to claim in ads that its app can measure a user’s blood glucose level.
