Reported by Digitaltrends, Monday (12/07/2015), this patent describes the presence of a device that uses pressure suddenly by providing micro particles which have the power to penetrate a person's skin. Then bring up the micro blood is drawn into the barrel. Google will take a blood sample users wearable by wearing a small device that is not shaped needle.
In these patents, are also shown two examples as an illustration, which looks like a traditional blood sampling devices. Where someone puts at their fingertips. Then the wrist-based device. Google has noted that, this device can be used manually or configured to automatically draw blood.
However, unfortunately, the company is still silent associated with this patent. "We hold patents on a variety of ideas that later grow into real products or services, and some do not.
Prospective product announcements should not necessarily be inferred from our patent, "said a spokesman in an interview with The Verge.
Actually, this patent filed since last May 28, 2014, before the Alphabet Inc. announced as parent company Google on August 10, 2015. In the announcement, CEO Larry Page appoint the company will grow further and is not limited to the Internet alone product.
According to the WHO itself, now has an estimated 9% of adults worldwide with diabetes. This market is considered quite large for such devices in the future.
Ask Google Patents 'SmartWatch' for Blood Tests.
Google has filed a patent for 'smartwatch' which can take a small sample of blood without using a needle. This can help people with diabetes to more easily monitor their blood glucose levels throughout the day.
Currently, diabetics need to do step is fairly complicated for several times a day to ensure their insulin levels remain under control.
However, based on the limited information that is known so far, as quoted by Science Alert, Sunday (13/12/2015), Google's new device that looks like a 'smartwatch' is ready to handle the steps earlier in a more simple and practical.
Given that this discovery is under patent filing, Google was reluctant to talk more about the details of how the device works, to whatever device it is used, even when the device will be made. Nevertheless, Google has revealed little information.
Patent application reveals that the device first sends 'sudden surge' of gas into the barrel containing microparticles, which then puncture the skin to produce a drop of blood. This droplet is then sucked into the barrel of a negative pressure, which can be used for further testing.
"The application of (technology) as these can be used to pick up small amounts of blood, for example, for testing glucose," Google wrote in its application.
Vulnerable smartwatch hacked.
Are you planning to buy a smartwatch? You should be careful due to the risk of loss of privacy awaits you. As with other computer devices, smartwatch also vulnerable to hackers, said a researcher of Indian origin.
By using an application on Samsung smartwatch Gear Live, Professor Romit Roy Choudhury from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign able to guess what the user typed through the "leakage" of data generated motion sensors on smartwatch.
Chodury revealed, "The data from the sensor device can be a double-edged sword. When the contact device to the human body will offer valuable insights into human health and the atmosphere, it will also make way for more about the violations of human privacy."
Her project is called Motion Sensor Leaks through the SmartWatch has implications for privacy. An application that is disguised as a pedometer, for instance, can collect data from e-mail, search requests and other confidential documents.
"The challenge boils down to is describing what can or can not be inferred from the data sensor, and this project is one example in the whole context of this direction," he added, as quoted by Firstpost, Sunday (09/13/2015).
Although the devices used in this project is the Samsung Watch, the researchers also believe that any wearable device that uses motion sensors --mulai of Apple Watch until Fitbit-- also vulnerable.
This application uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to track the movement of the micro wearer's keystrokes when typing on the keyboard. While Illinois researchers developed the project, it is conceivable that a hacker could build the same application and pass it to iTunes and other ecosystems.
"There are many good things that smartwatch bring to our lives, but there are also bad things," said He Wang, a PhD student in the field of electrical and computer engineering at Illinois.
A solution to the leak of this motion is to reduce the level of the sample rate of the sensor in the smartwatch. For example, the sample rate is usually around 200 Hertz. It means that the system recorded 200 readings per second accelerometer and gyroscope.
"However, if the figure is lowered below 15, the movement of the user's wrist becomes very difficult to trace," said Choudhury.
The work funded by the US National Science Foundation, will be presented at the conference MobiCom 2015 in Paris this week.
