The device is compatible with both smartphones and wearables. It features a circular design like the Apple AirTag. The Sense G1 device offers 24/7 continuous blood glucose monitoring, and users can view glucose levels on multiple devices, including a smartwatch and smartphone.

The device is also said to provide blood sugar abnormality reminders to users. The above image reveals that it can be stuck on the user’s arm and check blood glucose levels on the smartwatch or smartphone. It is said to have a soft needle, glucose oxidase, and electrode technology to constantly convert glucose in tissue fluid into blood glucose levels.

The Sense G1 is intended for a single user, requires no calibration, and has a sensor lifespan of up to 16 days. Reportedly, this device has a mean absolute relative difference (MARD) below 10%, while the glucose readings are said to lag behind actual blood sugar levels by around 5 to 15 minutes. The monitor does not need to be removed for showering or swimming; however, the needle must be replaced every two weeks.

The company has not announced the launch date of the Sense G1 device but since the device has been teased, we may hear the Chinese launch date announcement soon.
