A Smart-Watch That Monitors Blood Glucose Levels Would be a Game-Changer

Thanks, Ulysses,

Smart-watches generally are useless outside a few specific tasks. However, the first company who creates a smart-watch that can accurately monitor blood glucose levels using a laser will sell millions and become extremely rich (or richer) overnight. People have been spreading rumours that the new iWatch might have such a feature but don't count on it. The technology is still in development and currently requires hardware the size of a shoe-box - and Apple don't do "hard" research.

I agree with Ulysses, though I wonder at what point something like this stops being a watch and becomes a medical device you happen to wear on your wrist?

Not sure, but if it did become that at least I could see some value in it.
