Well, looks like Helen got all excited about nothing. They haven't even applied for a patent and sure looks to me that KNWN already has those patents. I mean radio Frequency/spectroscopy is exactly what the Uband is all about. Could be a a plan is in the works for Apple to use the KNWN tech. Wouldn't that be a hoot.
I sent an email to investor relations asking about the article discussing Apple patents that Helen Ong linked to. The response I got back indicated they had seen the article (as well as the earlier rumors about glucose monitoring in the Apple Watch and Samsung Watch). Here is a summary of their opinion about the article:
- They said KNWN's foundational patent predates the Apple patent
- Also, they said the article indicates Apple is focused on detection in the terahertz range and it's incredibly hard to produce terahertz signals in a miniaturized and cost effective form so an Apple CGM wearable probably would not be commercially viable for a few years
- Apple has not disclosed any clinical data related to testing a CGM device
