Apple Watch 7 rumored to have the most amazing feature
Apple is all set to launch its Watch, Series 7, in 2021. Rumors are circulating that the wearable device might have a most amazing and revolutionary feature- a blood glucose monitor.
The sensor can perform blood sugar readings to help diabetes patients manage their condition. Apple has just sent a survey to some of its Watch customers where it asks specifically whether they use the gadget to keep track of nutrition-related parameters, including blood glucose.
Reports in media are unclear on whether the feature will be introduced in the Series 7 Watch or the Series 8 Watch, scheduled to be launched in 2022.
Measuring blood sugar levels is a painstaking process which involves pricking the skin with a tiny needle, then waiting for a glucometer to read out the results. According to WHO, the number of worldwide people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The novel coronavirus illness might itself have triggered diabetes in some COVID-19 survivors, including children. Diabetes is a significant risk factor in COVID-19, which is why managing blood glucose is more critical right now than ever.
If the reports prove to be true, Apple Watch Series 7 will become the first wearable device to offer a blood sugar monitor.
