APPLE can work on a new smartwatch for booted users with an integrated breathalyser.
According to The Telegraph (Doctor on a wrist), the iPhone maker is the largest customer in the UK, Rockley Photonics company. These sensors use infrared light to read blood-related health metrics such as sugar and alcohol.
Currently, blood samples are the only way to take these measures accurately. In combination with the costly Apple Watch, technology can enable users to monitor how sloshed they are in real-time. Apple wearable devices use infrasound sensors to measure cardiac velocity and blood oxygen levels through the wrist.
Rockley said earlier that its next-generation technology could become smart cars by 2022. This would match the Apple Watch Series 8 release, which is scheduled for release next summer. Rockley sensors can take blood pressure readings depending on the company, as well as blood sugar and alcohol.
In combination with the advice of a physician, maintaining a track of blood pressure might help users detect early signs of heart disease. On the other hand, regular blood glucose readings could help in the diagnosis of diabetes.
Apple has not confirmed its intention to integrate the technology of Rockley into its smartwatch range. The most valuable involvement of the company in the UK has been revealed in legal filings uncovered by The Telegraph.
Rockley is preparing to become a publicly traded company, with offices in Oxford, Cardiff and Silicon Valley. The company called Apple its largest customer in New York listing documents.The first Apple watch was released in 2015 and is now, according to the tech titan, the world’s best selling timepiece.
The Apple Watch 6, which was launched last year, can read oxygen levels in the blood and control the heart rate and rhythm.
Samsung’s latest intelligent smartwatches, Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active2, can monitor your blood pressure.
However, they must be calibrated with a traditional mango measuring blood pressure.
