Not for medical purposes though, so there’s still room for a breakthrough after this major advancement.

I expect that Apple has been researching and developing a medical-grade glucose monitor since Apple Watch Series 3. A non-invasive glucose monitor would make smart watches a part of an insulin prescription

Yeah, if you, as a company, could get your smart watch to be part of a prescription you would have a TON of money on the table.

I could see companies making budget versions that collect health data and do nothing else.

Whoever patents it could very well make billions from it, but here’s to hoping that the winner shares the breakthrough.
