Monitoring glucose levels usually consists of pricking the finger to draw blood, but the conceptual Sense Glucose Earring is intended to provide users with a more discreet and connected way to keep up with the needs of Type 1 diabetics.
Designed by Tyra Kozlow, the earring works by being worn as a piercing on a single earlobe and will go to work taking readings whenever they are required by the wearer. This information is then relayed to the user's smartphone to let them easily keep up with their levels, which will eliminate the need for single-use alternatives, offer a pain-free experience and more.
The conceptual Sense Glucose Earring is also focused on a more intuitive experience that can take readings at any point to highlight discretion when going about one's daily routine.
