The media reports that Apple this year tested an app with which people with prediabetes will be able to control the process of food intake and change their lifestyle.
The journalists released the mentioned information, referring to anonymous insiders who are aware of the internal processes at the specified company. It is worth noting that Apple is currently demonstrating a commitment to developing its business in the area of products and services designed for healthcare.
According to insiders, this year the technology giant tested a new service on selected employees as part of the actions envisaged in the plan for the wider push of blood sugar control functions. Media informants used the right of anonymity because the mentioned work was secret.
Insiders also noted that the technology giant currently has no plans to launch an app that has been tested. At the same time, it is highly likely that the company will eventually integrate this technology into its future health products. For example, for more than ten years, the technology giant has been developing a non-invasive glucose tracker.
According to media reports, referring to insiders, Apple employees who took part in testing the app had to validate that they had prediabetes with a blood test. This means that these people have not been diagnosed with diabetes, but the risk of developing the second type of the corresponding disease is relevant for them.
During the mentioned test, Apple employees actively monitored blood sugar levels using various devices available on the market. Then they logged glucose-level changes in response to food intake.
As we have reported earlier, Apple Presents iOS 18.
