Google Wearables Introduce Insulin Resistance Tracking to Monitor Metabolic Health
Google has introduced a new feature in its Pixel Watch 5 and other wearables to track insulin resistance trends without blood tests. This tool uses sensors and AI to monitor physiological signals like heart rate and movement, estimating changes in insulin resistance over time. It aims to help users identify early metabolic health changes linked to risks such as prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, particularly relevant in India due to high diabetes prevalence. The feature will roll out later this year as part of Google's Health Guardian suite.
