Google will develop a bandage-sized device that will monitor glucose in the blood, which could revolutionize the treatment of diabetes.

It gives those who suffer from diabetes a low-cost, disposable device that will help them monitor their glucose levels and keep the disease in check, according to a Medical News Today report.

Google will develop the device with DexCom, which manufactures continuous glucose monitoring systems. This collaboration will create products that are different than ones currently out there: the technology will be in a smaller size and much cheaper than options that are currently available on the market.

It could be a huge boon to the 29 million Americans who suffer from diabetes, based on estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About a quarter of all sufferers are even aware they have it. Diabetes is defined as a disease where blood glucose levels are above normal, and those who have it must monitor their glucose constantly to prevent potentially deadly complications.

Typically, physicians recommend that patients get plenty of physical activity, adjust their diet, and take medication to manage their ailment. But monitoring glucose levels is just as important, and Google and DexCom hope that this new product could eventually even replace the current glucometers, which typically require a jab to the finger in order to monitor glucose in the blood.

The partnership is aiming to produce a wearable device that is commercially available within two or three years from now.

The device would have a bunch of other cool technological tricks. For one thing, it would be able to talk to your phone, and for another users won’t have to calibrate it. And that’s to say nothing of not having to prick your finger anymore, which alone would be a tremendous benefit for diabetes sufferers.
