Wearables and health tracking: photonics could reinvent the Apple Watch

https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/analysis/apple-watch-photonics/


Last year, high-tech medical device company Indigo Diabetes raised €38m in a Series B financing round to support the development of its ‘invisible’ continuous glucose monitoring device for diabetes. The company has developed a small chip that uses nanophotonics to measure glucose and ketones in diabetes patients and is designed to be inserted subcutaneously in a patient’s skin. The first clinical trial into its sensor technology began in March this year.

The results of Indigo’s trial could shed some light on how well Rockley’s photonics technology product might work, even embedded inside an Apple Watch instead of under the skin.
