According to a new rumor, next year the Apple Watch Series 7 will have sensors to measure your blood sugar. This is evident from a report from a British health technology company.
Rumor: Apple Watch Series 7 is going to measure your blood sugar
The start-up’s report shows that Apple is one of the largest customers. The British newspaper Telegraph drew his conclusions from this. The company, ‘Rockley Photonics’, designs sensors that can monitor blood using infrared light.
The sensors would be able to determine the glucose and alcohol level in your blood as well as medical devices. The partnership with Apple is the biggest revenue stream for the company, which may mean that Apple wants to implement the sensors in the latest Apple Watch Series 7.
The feature could be a tremendous benefit for diabetic patients. You can then quickly measure your glucose level without having to inject yourself. In this way, diabetes patients can keep a close eye on their blood sugar level.
Apple has been working on a blood sugar meter for some time
The fact that Apple has been working on a blood sugar meter has been almost certain for a long time, but it was still the question whether the company will get the innovation through all the approvals on time. Considering that the British tech company seems to have already started production, it could indicate that the Series 7 will be the first Watch with such a sensor.
Rumors have been circulating for a long time that Apple is working on such sensors. At the beginning of this year, the Cupertino company has already filed several patents describing how the glucose meter would work. The Apple Watch Series 7 could also get a special blood sugar app.
