Smartwatch-Based Diabetes Monitor Tracks Complications Painlessly

Smartwatch-Based Diabetes Monitor Tracks Complications Painlessly

Imagine a smartwatch that helps people with diabetes.

Instead of a painful finger prick, it uses sweat to check important things in your body, like sugar and other markers.

This watch, developed at BITS Pilani, can spot early signs of diabetes problems like nerve damage and kidney issues.

It's more complete than regular methods, is easy to use, and doesn't cost a lot.

The watch is being turned into a real product that can be used at home or with doctors over video calls.

This will make it easier for people to manage diabetes, especially in places where it's hard to get lab tests.
