An arrival in 2021
The sensor would not be based on the analysis of a drop of blood, as is the case today for diabetics, but with a laser.
Using Raman spectroscopy, the watch could analyze the composition of the blood simply by using light emitted from the sensor.
According to
Korea IT News
, the new feature could arrive in the second half of 2021. The blood glucose sensor would then be integrated into the next generation of Samsung connected watches, in the Galaxy Watch Active 3 or the Galaxy Watch 4.
In recent years, smartwatches have focused on health.
The first integrated sensors were heart rate monitors, capable of measuring heart rate.
Apple then took the plunge by integrating an electrocardiogram into its Apple Watch.
Latest invention to date: watches incorporating an oximeter, a sensor capable of measuring oxygen saturation in the blood
