Samsung teases non-invasive blood sugar technology

Health is the main reason why I care about wearables. That is why I have been wearing an Apple Watch for years. I want the Watch to monitor as many health parameters as possible, whether it concerns training and fitness routines or the inactive parts of the day.

Wearables have improved considerably over the years, with Apple leading the way. The Apple Watch can monitor the heartbeat (and other heart parameters), the breathing, the oxygen in the blood (outside the US), the pole temperature, sleep and an increasing number of training sessions.

But for me the holy grail would be that the Apple Watch could measure blood sugar levels just as easily as the heartbeat during the day. I have been saying that for years, because rumors describe the continuous activities of Apple in this area in detail. I want these functions of the Watch, even though I have no diabetes. I would also buy wearables with these options for my family members with the condition.

That is why it is incredibly exciting to hear Samsung teasing a non-invasive function for blood glucose monitoring for its own wearables.

Per Android authoritySamsung organized a health forum in San Jose, where the company unveiled the Galaxy S25 series earlier this week. Samsung Senior Vice President Hon Pak spoke about the work of Samsung in the field of non-invasive blood sugar meters.

“What I am really enthusiastic about is that our team, as you may have already hired, is working on a non-invasive, optically based continuous glucose monitor,” the director said. ‘I can’t tell you time [of the launch]But I am very enthusiastic about the progress we are making, and if we do well, this will be a game shanger. ”

If Samsung is willing to raise such an investigation, there must be confidence in achieving this breakthrough. Although Samsung may not be ready to say when a future Galaxy Watch flagship will get the technology, I am sure that rivals, including Apple, would have similar release time lines.

The Apple Watch maker is known for its confidentiality about products and functions. Apple will never tease the work on a groundbreaking project, whether it concerns non-invasive continuous blood sugar monitoring or something else. But at Samsung everything is all about teasers. The company has done this in recent years with hardware products such as the Android XR headsets, the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy S25 Edge.

However, it is more difficult to get an optical sensor that performs accurate blood sugar measurements than creating a new piece of hardware. None of the companies that work on such blood sugar meters can afford errors. The technology will probably require approvals from the FDA before it can be released. Devices such as the Galaxy Watch, Apple Watch and similar products must supply blood sugar measurements that are just as accurate as traditional methods.

These methods include the puncture of the skin with a needle, collecting blood and performing a blood sugar measurement with a special device.

The game-shanger that teased Samsung means that the Galaxy Watch shines a certain type of light through the skin and collects data that will translate AI algorithms into blood sugar measurements. If Samsung can take measurements with the Galaxy Ring, that could be an even greater breakthrough.

That simplicity could cause a revolution in the way we treat and prevent diabetes, which removes a major obstacle that some people prevent them from controlling their condition as well as possible.

A wearable provides continuous data without the user having to do anything. The carrier will in turn be able to respond much faster to the information, whether that means that the insulin dose must be adjusted to catch a glucose peak or that he just has to eat something quickly to prevent a crash.
