In 2020, Samsung did team up with MIT to develop a non-invasive method for blood glucose-monitoring utilizing Raman spectroscopy and presented their findings in Science Advances.
Back in 2017, CNBC reported the company had a “secret group†of biomedical engineers working on a project to develop non-invasive sensors that could monitor blood sugar levels.
According to MacRumors, around that time Apple CEO Tim Cook was also spotted wearing a potential prototype glucose monitor connected to his Apple Watch.
At CES 2021, one wearable that also stood out was—you guessed it—a non-invasive blood glucose-monitoring smartwatch from Japanese startup Quantum Operation.Right now, it’s too early to make a call on whether blood glucose-monitoring will make an appearance on both next-gen Samsung and Apple smartwatches?
