Can the next Apple Watch detect blood pressure, blood sugar, and alcohol? Revealed in technical materials of partner companies --ITmedia NEWS

The Telegraph reports that Apple is considering an advanced smartwatch technology to monitor the wearer's blood pressure, blood glucose and alcohol detection under a contract with Rockley Photonics.

Rockley Photonics has developed an ultra-precision sensor that can read multiple blood signals that can only be detected by medical devices by irradiating infrared rays through the skin from a module mounted on the back of the smartwatch.

While the limited modules on today's devices can detect indicators such as heart rate, the ability to track variables such as blood glucose that can detect diabetes is a wearable technology maker's ability to track. It is a long-term goal.

With offices in Oxford, Wales and Silicon Valley, the company revealed its relationship with Apple in its listings for an initial public offering in New York.

According to this filing, Apple has accounted for most of the company's revenue over the past two years, has ongoing "supply and development contracts" with the company, and will continue to do most of the revenue. It is expected that you will rely on.

Most of the company's revenue comes from engineering fees paid to the company for work on future products, and Rockley CEO Andrew Rickman predicts that the company's technology will be incorporated into consumer products next year. But it doesn't say if it's an Apple device.

Large tech companies in the United States often enter into strict contracts that minimize disclosure of information about their relationships with suppliers.
