Monitoring a patient’s vital signs and other physiological parameters is a standard part of medical care, but, increasingly, health and fitness-minded individuals are looking for ways to easily keep their own tabs on these measurements. Enter the biometric watch.

The glucose sensor is the first wearable device that can measure glucose concentration directly but non-invasively, the authors say.
