\"Health<\/a><\/p>\n

For the last few years, many tech companies have been trying to come up with solutions for health monitoring<\/strong>. Patients usually monitor their biological measurements by pricking themselves to get a blood sample. A new solution would save time, money and lives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instantaneous results make it easier for people to track a problem (if there is one), instead of having to go to a doctor and stressing over results. Countless companies have been working on this for the last few years and they are transforming an entire industry.<\/p>\n

Companies like Virta, which promises to cure patients by remotely monitoring their behaviour, Livongo Health, which has just raised $52.5 million to launch its blood sugar monitoring product<\/strong>, or even the \u2018electronic skin<\/a>\u2019 with an organic circuit, made in Japan, are real game changers.<\/p>\n

Apple has also been running a project, for five years now, on glucose sensor technology for diabetes. Steve Jobs even believed that Apple would one day be at the intersection of technology and biology.<\/p>\n

As remote health monitoring becomes the new norm, we are heading towards a time where we can check our dashboard health every day \u2013 early in the morning before going to work, or last thing at night before bed.
