Watch Apple 3 is currently under development at the Apple company, and today we learn some interesting details about the new functions it will bring. More precisely, sources close to Apple claim that the Apple Watch 3 will allow the monitoring of blood glucose levels to treat diabetes, but this using smart bracelets.
Apple would have hired no less than 200 doctors to help it develop this glucose monitoring system, its goal being to turn the Apple Watch 3 into a medical gadget. Apple has wanted since the first model to offer such functions for the Apple Watch, but it seems that only in the third version will it be able to offer them to its users.
According to our source, Apple's sights are now set on the epidemic of diabetes, and the company plans to introduce a game-changing glucose monitoring feature in an upcoming Apple Watch... Our source indicates that Apple has hired 200 PhDs in the past year as part of the company's laser lock on improving and innovating in the health space with Apple Watch.
Although many would expect this functionality to be offered through sensors integrated into the Apple Watch 3 case, it seems that everything will be offered using smart bracelets. Apple is developing these bracelets together with the Apple Watch 3, so the smartwatch itself will not have such integrated functions for everyone.
By implementing monitoring functions in smart bracelets instead of the Apple Watch 3, Apple avoids the need to increase the final cost of the product itself. Moreover, it offers only those who need such functions the possibility to have them through the Apple Watch 3, but this could be only a part of what we will get.
"Apple also plans to introduce interchangeable "smart watch bands" that add various functionality to the Apple Watch without added complexity, and without increasing the price of the watch itself. This could also mean that the glucose monitoring feature will be implemented as part of a smart band, rather than being built into the watch hardware."
Apple also intends to offer other functions for the Apple Watch 3 through these smart bracelets, but it remains to be seen how many of its plans will be able to be turned into reality.
