According to insiders, it seems that Apple is developing sensors that can help monitor blood sugar levels on the Apple Watch. If implemented, it can help towards better treatment of diabetes.
The Apple Watch isn’t simply just another smartwatch out there in the market. Aside from the power of accessing apps right from your wrist, it also can track your health, and see how your heart is doing.
With that in mind, it seems that Apple is exerting more effort towards using technology to better monitor your well-being. According to a report by CNBC , Apple has hired a small team of biomedical engineers to work in an office in Palo Alto to develop sensors that can non-invasively and continuously monitor blood sugar levels to better treat diabetes.
The Cupertino company has also reportedly been conducting feasibility trials at clinical stores across the San Francisco Bay Area, and has hired consultants to figure out regulatory pathways.
This «super secret initiative» was initially envisioned by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and the effort has been going on for at least five years, say the sources close to CNBC.
