Blood glucose is hard. Witness Theranos' attempt to do blook analysis without sufficient samples.
It apparently can be done from surface contact, with a special patch that measure interstitial epidermal fluid. Do these watches have that?
- stop50 3y agoNo, they want to use light refraction to measure the glucose level.
- Beijinger 3y ago"with a special patch that measure interstitial epidermal fluid." Yes. Dexcom and Senseonics (Eversense) "It apparently can be done from surface contact" It can also be done without pircing the skin. https://quantune.com/ https://quantune.com/ But more complex than Apple thought.
- veidr 3y agoWhat's the TL;DR on that Quantune device? Does it achieve a new level of noninvasive accuracy? (I did visit the website but there is no information (possibly because I'm in Japan which has regulations around public disclosure of information about medical devices that haven't been approved — which is enough of a hassle that sometimes companies just basically show a blank page).)
- Beijinger 3y ago"What's the TL;DR on that Quantune device?" Interesting concept. QCL with photoacoustic detection. "Does it achieve a new level of noninvasive accuracy?" I think so.
