Did you know Samsung Is Working on Non-Invasive Glucose Monitor for Wearable Tech

 

Tech giant Samsung just shared with the world that it was working on an innovative non-invasive glucose monitor for wearable technology.

The news comes as a surprise for many including Apple which is known as the pioneer for adding health features to its smartwatches. The iPhone maker even commented on how it was nearly impossible to achieve an accurate glucose monitor for wearable tech that did not penetrate the skin.

Now, we can confirm that rival Samsung is proving many wrongs by giving insights into its holy grail feature which entails a non-invasive glucose monitor. So far, no other tech giant has been able to achieve this feature of measuring sugar levels non-invasively. In fact, all products from leading tech firms like Dexcom and Lingo require the sensor to enter the skin directly.

While it’s believed not to hurt, many are weary of the thought of something entering the skin to get the result. For now, those with diabetes or individuals obsessed with leading a healthy lifestyle consider using glucose monitors. However, if equipped with wearable tech, it can help others realize how and when their sugar levels spike due to food intake or some kind of activity.

This is why the news from Samsung is getting welcomed with open arms. Many hope this could be a clear stepping stone into a new health revolution. As per the VP for Samsung, the news is a clear indication of how the tech giant wants to create a sensor algorithm that makes predictions for the early indicators of diabetes. This combined with non-invasive tech with continued glucose monitoring is really beneficial, he explained.

The news is huge and Apple is said to be working on deriving something very similar for its own viral Apple watch. For now, no official news has been published about that. In fact, seeing Samsung’s team discuss this openly might mean it’s close to making a breakthrough or even a launch.

The matter was further discussed recently at a leading forum linked to health. This is where more discussions had to do with the excitement surrounding the technology and if done correctly, how it could lead to a major game changer in the health world.

For now, no date was finalized in terms of when the major announcement would be made. But it is confirmed that it’s coming soon, perhaps in 2025 or the year after. Also, no discussions about where the monitor would be located. We assume it would be a part of the latest Galaxy Watch range. Soon after that, it might come into the Galaxy Ring.

Who knows, it might even be launched as a standalone device by the tech giant, in case the sensor cannot be brought down to a minimal size. All we know is that the sensor would be optical so that might make it nestled into the other ones seen in the watch’s base.
