The glucometer's information is sent to an accessory that looks like a [flexible, futuristic wristwatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allai-wearable1), displaying an ongoing graph of up and down patterns. This analysis enables the patient to take note of how activities and foods influence her health.
