Apple Trials Applications For Managing Blood Sugar Levels

JAKARTA Apple is reportedly testing a new application designed to help manage blood sugar levels, especially for those at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This move demonstrates Apple's commitment to expanding health function in its device ecosystem, especially Apple Watch, in fighting diabetes.

For years, Apple has reportedly been developing sensors that can measure blood sugar levels non-invasively through devices like Apple Watch. Although the technology is still under development, Apple is currently trying another approach to helping those at risk of diabetes.

According to a Bloomberg report, trials of this application involve Apple employees who are in the pre-diabetic category. They undergo blood tests to determine the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and are monitored using various blood sugar monitoring devices. This application is used to record foods consumed, blood sugar levels, and changes in glucose levels associated with eating patterns.

Although this application is quite promising, Apple reportedly has no plans to release it to the public. The purpose of this trial is more data collection and exploration of the use of blood sugar data for other purposes, as well as the development of new tools that may benefit public users in the future.

Apple is currently delaying trials of this application to focus on other health projects. This trial is also not directly related to efforts to develop glucose monitoring devices without punctures.

If successfully developed, the non-invasive device is expected to add more advanced health features to Apple Watch, considering conventional devices such as Dexcom still require blood tests through more sophisticated fingers or other systems.
