A new implanted glucose sensor is another step towards docbot health monitoring for us all. Bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego and GlySens Incorporated have developed an implantable glucose sensor and wireless telemetry system that continuously monitors tissue glucose and transmits the information to an external receiver. The implant has been successfully used in animals for over a year. After human clinical trials and FDA approval, the device can eliminate all the finger sticking for people with diabetes.
