Samsung hints that an optical blood glucose sensor might be closer than we think | Infinium-tech
Non-invasive blood glucose measurement is one of the so-called “holy graves” of modern health tracking. Samsung has recently organized the Galaxy Tech Forum in San Jose, California. During the conference, Samsung’s senior vice -president and head of the Digital Health Team in Mobile Experience Business, Dr. Hon Pak explained in detail on the company’s work on the hard task.
What I really excited is our team, as you have accepted, we are working on a non-invasive alternatively-based continuous glucose monitor. I can’t tell you time [of the launch]But I am very excited about the progress we are doing, and if we correct it, there will be a game-changer.
Although we clearly do not know much about upcoming technology, we know that it is alternatively based, meaning that it included with existing optical sensors in devices like Galaxy Watch or potentially Galaxy Ring. May go. However, at least early, the size of the sensor can be too large to include in anything other than a standalone device.
Even if so, we are talking about a possible revolution in the quality of life for many people suffering from a huge potential milestone and diabetes in health tracking. The methods of current measurement are aggressive and require to poke a needle through the skin or insert a special sensor in the body for continuous tracking to achieve blood samples. If Samsung cracks in non-invasive, constant blood glucose tracking, it will also benefit general users and unlock interesting matrix like glucose spikes related to food intake.
It is also worth noting that the representatives of Apple have also touched the first non-invasive blood glucose tracking, but in any kind of expansion, mostly, saying that it is a very difficult task. Insiders in the industry have long estimated that cupertinos are also working on similar technology. This is definitely worth keeping an eye on. In any case, things look bright for the possibility of such technology.
