Huawei Smartwatches Could Measure Blood Sugar Without a Separate CGM: Here’s How
Huawei says its blood-sugar technology is nearing production, with patent work showing how a future smartwatch could measure glucose without a separate CGM. The post Huawei Smartwatches Could Measure Blood Sugar Without a Separate CGM: Here’s How appeared first on TechRepublic .
Huawei is close to developing a smartwatch capable of measuring blood sugar levels without the need for a separate continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The company has been researching this technology for four years, and recently, its CEO He Gang confirmed that a blood-sugar testing device is planned for consumer use. While the exact form and measurement method have not been disclosed, Huawei's patent filings suggest the company has explored noninvasive glucose measurement techniques through the skin using mid-infrared light.
This technology could potentially be integrated into a wrist-worn device, allowing for automatic glucose measurements at set intervals or upon user request. If successful, this innovation could replace the current system where Huawei smartwatches display blood sugar risk assessments or third-party CGM data, and instead provide direct glucose readings on the device itself.
