No more needles?

In February, speaking to students of the University of Glasgow, Tim cook said that even on a psychological level, it is difficult to prick themselves many times a day to check blood sugar levels. He admitted that he started to wear a glucose monitor, but did not specify that it was per device. In traditional systems, no injections or special implantable sensors is not enough, and Apple wants to avoid any interference in the body. In the previous report, CNBC stated that the work on the new technology is at least five years. According to experts, this is one of the biggest technical challenges. Google creates its own method for the determination of glucose levels using contact lenses, but while the project leaves more questionsthan answers.

Smart straps?

The “secret port” hidden plug

The Apple Watch will never be a medical device because of the need for certification, which will significantly slow down the development of new generations of smart watches. On the other hand, to integrate all sensors in the basic module is not necessary. For example, the Apple Watch is the so-called diagnostic port in the place of fastening straps. Through it, the gadget could be synced with the sensor glucose level removable strap. It is possible that this version of the tracker testing Tim cook.
