Il field of technological advances among electronic devices is incredibly impressive, every day new projects are proposed in terms of investigation of artifacts that perform functions or have useful tools for our daily life.
There are several companies around the world tasked with creating electronic tools to simplify various aspects of our life, including our health checks. An example of these is Apple, who wants with its new SmartWatch measure your blood sugar or glucose level.
How do we measure glucose with the new Apple Watch smartwatch or smartwatch?
First of all, it is convenient to talk a little about the referred objective. Glucose is a very useful substance in our body, but i its high levels are harmful. This substance can be stored pathologically in our body, as happens with diabetes.
Diabetic patients have the obligation to have a constant control of the glucose levels in their body to know their state of health, for this reason they need a monitoring to know your blood sugar in your body.
The methods used conventionally are the most effective, however with the updating and technological innovation we want to test this procedure with everyday electronic devices.
Apple's approach is to make this happen glucometer a complete software included in a watch, a SmartWatch. In this sense, although the company does not say it, it tries to measure the glucose level in users.
The technology proposed so far is the use of a sensor that measures continuously, that is a sensor that it works at all times to find out how your glucose level is. A similar example is the heart rate sensor, only in this case the technology brings more complexity.
What is the mechanism by which glucose is measured with the new Apple Watch SmartWatch?
THE Apple smart watch is one of the most desired by users, the model of this watch is simply elegant and its internal workings are typical of the impressive works of the company.
The conventional mechanism for measuring a patient's glucose level is through a small puncture made in the patient's thumb to obtain a drop of blood. So with conventional, digital or analog glucometers, the necessary measurement is done via a digital monitor.
Similarly to this, especially for the latter, we are trying to measure glucose with the new Apple SmartWatch; It aims to embed a sensor inside the watch in so that it can provide an account of what a patient's blood glucose value is like.
The information gathered by this sensor will then go to its visual expression on a monitor, which was the watch itself. This it will reflect the glucose value which is measured by optical electromagnetic waves, to have the required control of this substance.
How to pair the Apple SmartWatch with my iPhone?
However, not everything has to be reflected solely on the watch. This is where the almost perfect connection that exists among the different devices of this brand.
The Apple Watch SmartWatch can be connected to the iPhone, as well as the software created to measure glucose. And the good thing about this is that the linking process is very simple; Just like the AirPods are connected to an Apple Watch, the SmartWatch can also be synced with an iPhone or Android.
The model to implement is basically similar to those launched previously, and one thing is certain: the battery must be designed for greater profitability, as it will tend to be constantly on to measure blood sugar.
However, users will need to learn how to conserve the smartwatch's battery so that it doesn't drain as quickly and can be kept under control.
But after all, there is still a little bit left for this technological innovation, we have to wait for the official launch of this new SmartWatch which will be called Apple Watch Series 7, and from now on it is one of the most anticipated wearables in the world.
