Apple Tests Secretive App to Help Manage Prediabetes

A new report from Bloomberg today details that Apple quietly tested an app this year designed to “help people with prediabetes manage their food intake and make lifestyle changes.” The test comes as Apple continues its work on a noninvasive glucose tracker, a long-running moonshot project that dates back to the Steve Jobs era. Today’s report explains that Apple tested the app on select employees earlier this year, though it “doesn’t have plans to release the app.” Instead, Apple might “eventually integrate the technology into future health products,” such as its noninvasive glucose tracker. The studies “were highly secretive” inside Apple, even compared to other projects, according to the report.
