Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, March 27 (Xinhua) according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman (Mark Gurman), Apple Apple Watch's blood sugar monitoring technology may still be several years away from the market.

Goolman reported in February that Apple has made significant progress in non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology, allowing diabetics and others to measure their blood sugar levels without having to pierce the skin for a blood test.

It is reported that Apple's system uses a silicon photonic chip to measure the concentration of glucose in the body by irradiating a laser into the skin. In a Bloomberg Power On newsletter, Gurman said Apple "still needs to refine its algorithms and on-board sensors" to bring the technology to market. More importantly, the company needs to "shrink it to the size of a small and lightweight module like the Apple Watch". According to Gurman, the process "will take at least three to seven years."

According to CTOnews.com, Apple has been working on alternative blood sugar monitoring methods since it acquired RareLight in 2010. The company then developed the technology in a secret facility with the help of a start-up called Avolante Health LLC and transferred it to the exploratory design team (XDG).

Apple has been conducting human trials for the past decade and hopes to remind users through the Apple Watch and encourage them to change their lifestyle when they have pre-diabetes. The company is believed to be in preliminary discussions about obtaining regulatory approval for the technology.
