Samsung believes it can beat Apple on its own turf

A blood sugar meter that doesn’t pierce the skin and a blood pressure monitor seem to be the Korean company’s goals to surpass Apple in its field.

Apple has been trying for years to incorporate a non-invasive glucose meter into its smartwatches, but has always fallen short due to technological limitations.

Reducing a sensor to a size that can fit into a wearable and take accurate readings is a challenging endeavor, although according to the latest reports, Samsung is reportedly trying to introduce the technology before Apple, which would be a major victory for the Koreans.

Samsung is also studying the possibility of controlling blood pressure and is making a significant investment to achieve its goal. This is all we can see in the Galaxy Ring.

An advancement that can save lives and improve the quality of millions

The recent Galaxy Ring teaser is proof that Samsung is taking seriously the incorporation of features that can provide accurate information about the user’s health.

According to Bloomberg, a non-invasive blood sugar meter and a blood pressure monitor seem to be the company’s goals. In an interview, Hon Pak, who is the head of mobile digital health at Samsung, oversees these efforts and believes that the company will be in a much stronger position if it focuses on blood pressure and glucose control.

“If we are able to control blood pressure and glucose continuously, we will be in a completely different situation,” commented the Samsung executive. “I think everyone wants to get there. We are investing a lot in it.”

When commenting on the function of non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, the executive did not provide a release estimate, although he expects the technology to be available within a five-year timeframe.

As for why the Galaxy Ring was joked about, Pak says that the device is an alternative for those who don’t want to wear a smartwatch, but still want to track metrics like health and sleep.
