Wasn’t this widely ballyhooed a couple of years back as something Google was developing? Haven’t heard a peep about it for a while.
Wasn’t Google doing something with contact lenses?
My bad. Saw “optical” and associated it with that contact lens thing. Always read the article first…
I would love to hear a technical roundtable discussion about the very real biomedical hurdles to accomplishing this, instead of more supersecret word salad. In the meantime, I’m sure it’ll all be done in 5 years…
I remember the first non-invasive CGM. It was expected to ship within 1 year. This was in 1991. I am not holding my breath.
I recall watching a youtube video where the developer of the “Loop” (that @terry4 uses) mentioned he was hired by Apple at the end of the video. Here is the post…
I was hoping that Apple “secret team” was developing a closed loop insulin delivery app that had a user interface that was well designed like the Loop.
Not too excited about an optical BG sensor as the invasive one works well enough for me, but it is always good to hear people trying.
SugarBeats in the EU is moving along. It’s approved and should come out within a year they say. It doesn’t use a needle and instead is just a patch. Through some dark magic its able to read your blood sugar with a MARD of ~11.5%.

Well, the first company to break the code will earn ZILLIONS… and, after all, money is all that counts.
