The Apple Watch is a long way from supporting blood glucose and blood pressure measurements

News on January 10, at the end of last year, Huawei launched a smart watch Watch D that supports blood pressure measurement and supports ECG detection, as a direct competitor to the smartwatch track, the next major sensor apple adds for the Apple Watch may not appear this year, that is, the rumored blood glucose monitoring and blood pressure tracking and other functions may wait for several years to be launched.

The Apple Watch has been steadily adding new features and updating its exterior design with each successive update. However, while there are rumors that some major features are coming soon, according to the latest reports, these features may take a long time to appear in the finished product.

For example, the idea of Apple introducing some form of non-invasive glucose monitoring to the Apple Watch was proposed, but according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, noninvasive glucose monitoring is still far from practical.

He added: "I wouldn't be surprised if glucose monitoring doesn't land until the second half of a decade later." "Another feature that can have a long wait time is blood pressure monitoring. Although there have been studies and patents on the concept, he believes that the feature "will take at least two to three years to apply to the Apple Watch."

In fact, on the HUAWEI Watch D, Huawei added a micro airbag to achieve a closer scientific blood pressure measurement, but the addition of airbags will greatly reduce the wearing feeling of the watch and the aesthetics of the product.

Back to Gurman's revelations, he mentioned that in addition to non-invasive blood glucose and blood pressure measurements, the most likely thing to appear on the next generation of Apple Watch is temperature monitoring. In fact, research on this function has been underway since at least 2019, although the current news is that body temperature monitoring is still on this year's roadmap, but recent news about it has slowed down significantly.

In 2022, Apple will release at least three models of Apple Watch, in addition to the Series 8, it may also bring a version for extreme sports people to use, and the Apple Watch SE will also usher in an update.
