Stylish Fraunhofer Lab-in-a-Wristwatch Warns of Impending Medical Emergencies Before They Strike

According to Nerf Herders there are 5000 ways to die ;)

you: what time is it?

watch: time to die by glucose over dose

Wow. A "wristwatch doesn't tell the time"! That's hilarious.

I had an idea for something like this once, but it could be better. Instead of sampling the blood, a sensor inside the body (just beneath the skin) could do the same thing without drawing even a single drop of blood.

As a diabetic, I would love to have something that monitors my blood glucose in real-time without having to stab myself everytime I want to see the number. I'd be willing to pay big bucks for something that could do this for me. This would help so many diabetics like me who are a little to lax about keeping up with our blood sugars. I'd even be willing to have an implant that monitors my levels internally and then broadcasts the data to a device like a watch or phone. Bring on the bluetooth internal glucometers! lol

The usual ignorant commenters.

There is stuff that can measure blood without physical contact.__Its called noninvasive.

@207pc -- Why people feel the need to make comments like yours is beyond me. This site is geared towards learning, understanding and discovery. If you have information for someone you can offer it in a constructive manner. Next time you might try something like "Check out these links:", or "Hey, I found some information you might find interesting!"

It's comments like your previous one that stifle constructive, thought-provoking conversation on sites like this. If you're going to come here and participate, try to be a little more constructive, and a lot less condescending.

(BTW, just because you’ve heard of something, or got Google hits, doesn’t mean it’s a commercially available solution. Your only working link is about a product that has been discontinued, and the PopSci article you referenced talks about a new discovery, not a new product. There are no commercially available non-invasive glucometers approved for use in the United States.)

Thanks for showing us how smart you are.

oooooooo....inyoface!
