FoviOptics

FoviOptics was a medical technology company focused on developing non-invasive glucose monitoring systems using advanced optical sensors. The company's core technology leveraged Raman spectroscopy to measure blood glucose levels through the skin, aiming to eliminate the need for invasive finger-stick tests. Founded in 2007, the startup sought to integrate this technology into portable and wearable formats for better diabetes management. In 2013, FoviOptics was acquired by Apple, and its intellectual property and engineering talent were integrated into Apple's health technology division. This acquisition played a significant role in the development of health-related features for the Apple Watch and subsequent wearable products.
