Diabetes smartwatch reads glucose from your sweat
BITS Pilani Hyderabad researchers have built a smartwatch that checks your glucose, uric acid, and lactate levels from sweat—no finger pricks needed.
It gives real-time health info and is expected to cost just ₹2,500.
The team hopes to launch it within a year after clinical trials and approvals.
How it works
The watch uses tiny sensors to read multiple health markers from sweat, hitting 97-98% accuracy for glucose in early tests.
This means you get a bigger picture of your health without any needles.
Focus on affordability and scalability
Created by Cleome Innovation (a BITS spin-off), the device is designed to be affordable and easy to scale up so more people can manage diabetes comfortably.
They're also working on patch-style versions for even simpler tracking.
