With nearly a tenth of the global population living with diabetes, Apple is racing to develop a less invasive way of measuring blood glucose.
Apple has appointed Tim Millet, the company’s vice president of platform architecture, to lead the company’s secret group working on developing a non-invasive way to monitor blood sugar.
An Apple employee for over 19 years, Millet took charge of the project after it was left without a dedicated head for months, according to a Bloomberg report that cited people with knowledge of the change. The team behind the project, Exploratory Design Group or XDG, was previously headed by scientist Bill Athas who died late last year.
With nearly a tenth of the global population living with diabetes, tech companies like Apple and Huawei are racing to develop a less invasive way of measuring blood glucose – one that eliminates the need for pricking the skin.
