Existing smart watches that claim to do this are basically garbage. Just use a random number generator instead.
Apple and Samsung are supposedly working on it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidphelan/2025/01/26/samsung-reveals-game-changer-blood-glucose-monitoring-to-outdo-apple-watch/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidphelan/2025/01/26/samsung-...
But it seems to be hard and from what I have seen the new Galaxy Watch 8 won't have this feature.
- leakycap 1y agoGreat resources. It seems we'll see BP monitoring integrated in a mainstream base smartwatch before we'll get optical glucose monitoring.
- privatelypublic 1y agoSmartphones are notorious for not delivering- heck, my fitbit won't even give me an actual wrist temp value. Theres optical ones that can be built in a lab and require profiling to an individual. The most accurate ones are still invasive- just not consumable fungus extract based. Maybe some biomedical company makes a reference design.
