The Apple Watch hosts an app to check blood sugar levels in real time. A practical tool for people with diabetes who owns this smart health connected watch.

Already mainly used for its applications in the health field, the Apple Watch continues to be equipped for this purpose. For this, the apple giant has teamed up with DexCom, a specialist in the manufacture of a continuous glucose measurement system (MCG).

Apple Watch: compatibility with DexCom products next year

This company has already revolutionized the taking of information on blood sugar. A small sensor is placed under the skin and smart health connected to a transmitter in permanent contact with a mobile application. There is no such no need to prick your finger. A small life-changing improvement for people with diabetes. Next year, DexCom should deploy a new generation of its sensor called G6. The novelty here is that the application in question will soon be available on Apple Watch. It will then be possible to do without a phone and have glucose level directly on the wrist.

Diabetes among the main public health concerns

Apple does not intend to stop there, since its teams are working on a CWM monitoring project their own. Little information has filtered on his progress yet. DexCom, for its part, is not resting on its laurels since they are already preparing the next version of their sensor. The company this time pooled its resources with Verily, a branch of Alphabet, Google’s parent company. They want to create the ultimate blood glucose meter. It remains to be seen what form it will take.

The other main players in smart health connected bracelets are also trying to join the bandwagon. This is the case of Fitbit who teamed up with One Drop, another specialist in diabetes management. So the race is on to find out who will find the panacea in a very important health field and which concerns more and more people. Apple is already in the lead.
