Apple's top secret healthcare startup has been revealed

Apple has been secretly working on a revolutionary healthcare project for years. One they started when Steve Jobs was still CEO.

Here's a clue about what it involves... Did you know 11.5% of global health expenditure is spent on diabetes? That’s USD$966 billion! Roughly 1 in 10 Americans are diabetic - in Australia, it is roughly 1 in 20.

Every day, most diabetics prick their skin to test their blood sugar levels. Apple’s secret project has been working on technology to test blood sugar without having to prick the skin. And they hope to one day build it into the Apple Watch. This will be technology we’ll all have access to - and anyone at risk of getting diabetes will know when they are pre-diabetic.
