A Korean report claims that an Apple Watch[1] blood sugar sensor will be included in the Series 7 device, when it is launched later this year.

With health[2] applications a major selling point of the Apple Watch, it has long been expected that the Cupertino company would want to expand its medical capabilities …

When Apple first launched the Apple Watch, the company primarily marketed it as a convenient way to view and respond to notifications. It fairly quickly became apparent, however, that it was the health and fitness[3] features which were driving sales, and Apple adapted its messaging and product development focus accordingly.

CEO Tim Cook had initially suggested that the company would be cautious in adding medical capabilities[4] to the watch, as it feared that the need for FDA approval could hold back innovation.
