Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Sept. 15, according to Bloomberg, Apple has made some internal changes. Tim Millett (Tim Millet), vice president of platform architecture, is responsible for leading the secret project team Exploratory Design Group (XDG), which develops non-invasive blood glucose monitoring functions for Apple Watch.

CTOnews.com learned from the report that the XDG team was originally led by veteran Bill Athas, but he died unexpectedly at the end of 2022.

Millet, who has been working at Apple for nearly 20 years, was responsible for the development of Apple Silicon chips and played a very important role in the overall transition from Intel to self-developed chips.

Apple's work on blood sugar monitoring is overseen by the semiconductor team rather than the health team because it requires advanced sensors and chips. Apple is exploring a non-invasive monitoring technique that involves emitting lasers under the skin to determine the concentration of glucose in the blood.

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."

After Apple acquired RareLight in 2010, it began working on alternative blood sugar monitoring methods. 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).
