Readers of Blognone who have been following Apple Watch news may be familiar with two health monitoring features that have been in the works for some time now. Apple has been aiming to incorporate these features into the smartwatch, but has been facing challenges in terms of both technology and regulatory approval. These features include monitoring blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reported insider information from Apple regarding the development plan for the blood sugar monitoring feature, confirming Apple’s intention to release this feature. Apple has already launched an internal testing app for employees with pre-diabetes conditions (high blood sugar levels, but not yet diagnosed with diabetes), which aims to provide daily dietary recommendations to help adjust behavior.
This information may suggest how Apple plans to implement the blood sugar monitoring feature and whether the app will be released separately. TLDR: Apple is working on incorporating blood sugar monitoring and blood pressure monitoring features into the Apple Watch, facing challenges in development and regulatory approval. They have already started testing the blood sugar monitoring feature internally.
