Submission + - If Apple's making an iWatch, it won't measure glucose levels (networkworld.com)
colinneagle writes: The purported iWatch project — a smart wrist-worn device that rumors suggest Apple has been working on — may come to fruition at some point this year. Tim Cook has hinted at the company entering new product categories in 2014, and Apple has been hiring experts in wearable technologies and medical sensors like crazy lately.
This has spawned some extreme rumors, to the extent that some expect a device that can do things like automatically and continuously monitor glucose levels, or even detect heart attacks before they occur.
Some digging around the wearable medical device community shows just how impossible this is.
