Google’s Life Sciences division (which now appears to be a stand-alone Alphabet company) has been working on a number of projects to help people with diabetes. This week, we’re learning details about new one: it’s going to help build a bandage-sized, cloud-connected sensor to help people monitor their glucose levels.
The product is being developed in partnership with DexCom, an established manufacturer of continuous glucose monitoring systems; DexCom will be building the sensors, while Life Sciences will be handling the miniaturization.
The product that Life Sciences and DexCom hope to create would be pretty impressive.
