Wearable .. Development of the first continuous blood sugar monitor

The Japanese company "Quantum Operation Inc." has developed a non-surgical device to continuously measure blood sugar levels.

The company unveiled the new wearable device during the virtual event "CES 2021", which uses the company's patented spectrum technology to accurately measure glucose in a person's bloodstream through the skin, without the need for the use of a needle.

According to "Gizmo China", the Japanese company asserts that its secret mixture lies in its patented spectroscopy material, which has been integrated into the watch and its bracelet.

To use it, the wearer simply needs to move the watch and activate the watch from the menu, and after about 20 seconds the data is displayed.

The device, which resembles an Apple smartwatch, consists of a small spectrometer used to check blood to measure glucose. This technology can also be used to measure a variety of vital signs, including heart rate and electrocardiogram (ECG).

"Until now, inserting a needle into your finger or arm was the only available way to accurately measure glucose level, and our device will change that painful habit, making the painful daily routine unnecessary for all diabetics," said CEO Kazuma Kato. Selling the device to insurance companies and healthcare providers, as well as building a massive, accurate data platform, and providing better solutions for disease control and management.

With this technology, diabetics will be able to replace the daily routine of using a needle for measurements by simply attaching it to a wearable device that looks like a wristwatch.
