Korean website ETNews has provided some details about the new Apple Watch Series 7 smartwatch, which is supposed to bring a new method to measure the user's blood glucose. As we well know, this type of measurement is performed with the analysis of a drop of blood, and for this, it is necessary for the patient to make a small hole in his finger. To avoid this, Apple intends to offer a less invasive method.
According to information, this will be possible thanks to an optical sensor that would be added to its new smart watch, which even without analyzing the blood itself, would be able to identify the sugar level and alert the user. If the manufacturer really manages to provide this technology, the traditional bites will be eliminated.

How will this work?
According to the source, Apple has already applied for and obtained the registration of the necessary patents to finally insert this technology into its wearable and start its commercialization in a stable way. The sensor will act continuously and must be positioned on the skin. As soon as the watch identifies that the blood sugar level is high, an alert will be issued for the user to change their diet, so that they can have continuous control of their health.
It is not today that rumors appear on the internet saying that Apple should insert a sensor that controls the level of glucose in the blood directly from its smart watch. To this end, the sources say that the company already has a squad of biomedical engineers and consultants to contribute to the development of this technology, and also claim that some tests have already been carried out.
It is worth mentioning that, as usual, Apple has not commented on this information, which still characterizes it as a rumor, but if there is confirmation, more details should emerge soon.
