The future of wearable tech and diabetes looks promising because it helps to track glucose levels on an ongoing basis.
FREMONT, CA: Wearable technologies can provide novel solutions to healthcare issues, and healthcare facilities are evaluating the wearable technology applications in healthcare for this study. Many wearable technology applications, like weight control and physical activity monitoring, are aimed to prevent diseases and maintain health. Wearable devices are also used to keep track of patients and diagnose illnesses.
Wearable apps have the potential to influence clinical decision-making directly. Like patient rehabilitation outside of hospitals, Wearable technology is thought to enhance patient care while lowering costs.
The large amount of data created by wearable devices presents both a difficulty and an opportunity for researchers who can use more artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to it in the future. The majority of wearable technologies are still prototypes.
Diabetic patients can even be treated with wearable gadgets. There are products on the market that monitor blood sugar levels and provide real-time feedback, such as the discrete earring. The Sense Glucose Earring can be defined as a non-invasive blood glucose monitor that can change how type 1 diabetic patients manage their condition.
A single lobe piercing is required for the diabetes-monitoring earring, which combines safe high-frequency radio waves that pass through the lobe and offer data on blood parameters. Unlike specific glucose monitors available in the market, these earrings do not need frequent blood samples and are powered by rechargeable batteries, eliminating medical and plastic waste.
After the blood is analyzed, Sense interacts with an app to notify the user of their present blood sugar levels and delivers the messages. The software can share data, evaluate trends, and help the user manage their health in general.
Teenagers with diabetes
Ideal diabetes management involves identifying the right medicine balance to maintain a patient's blood sugar in the right range. It can check whether the blood sugar is too high, then the patients might be suffering from vascular complications like vision problems and kidney disease, if their blood sugar is too low, they risk tragic outcomes like fainting, seizures, or even death.
The Sense Glucose Earring is expected to positively affect a younger generation suffering from type 1 diabetic. As Sense is a piece of Smart technology, it will help youngsters feel more in charge of their diabetes and inspire them to control their condition in front of their colleagues.
