Apple Watch to Measure Blood Alcohol Content
A major feature coming to the Apple Watch may have just been revealed in an SEC filing for UK-based startup Rockley Photonics, which designs sensors for monitoring a person's blood using infrared light. The sensors could be used for monitoring blood glucose and alcohol levels. Rockley is preparing to go public in New York and has subsequently revealed that Apple is one of its "few large customers". Two of its largest customers accounted for 100% of its revenue in 2020 and 99.6% in 2019. Glucose monitoring is like the holy grail when it comes to smartwatches, and Apple has long been rumored to be working on offering readings to those who wear it. With Apple's constant move to make the Apple Watch one of the best health monitoring devices on the market, these reports fit in with Apple's plans. The Apple Watch might be able to tell how much alcohol is in a person’s blood stream and whether it’s legal to drive.
