Ngokweminye imibiko, i-Apple yaqasha iqembu labachwepheshe bezwe abangama-30 abahola emkhakheni we-biiengineering ukuze benze ubuchwepheshe bokuguqula isimo - ithuluzi lokukala ushukela wegazi ngaphandle kokubhoboza isikhumba. Kubikwa nokuthi umsebenzi wenziwa endaweni yokucasha eseCalifornia, kude nehhovisi elikhulu lenkampani. Abamele i-Apple bayenqaba ukuphawula ngokusemthethweni.
Kungani enza uzungu olunje?
Iqiniso ngukuthi ukwakhiwa kwensiza enjalo, inqobo nje uma inemba, futhi iphephile kwabanesifo sikashukela, izokwenza inguquko yangempela ezweni lesayensi. Manje kunezinhlobo eziningana zemizwa ye-glucose engabonakali ihlaselwe, kukhona nentuthuko yaseRussia. Amanye amadivaysi alinganisa amazinga kashukela asuselwa emfuthweni wegazi, kanti amanye asebenzisa i-ultrasound ukuthola umthamo wokushisa kanye nokwenza kahle kwesikhumba. Kepha, yeha, ngokunemba basasebenza ngaphansi kwe-glucometer ejwayelekile edinga ukukhishwa ngomunwe, okusho ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwabo akunikezeli ezingeni elibalulekile lokulawula isimo sesiguli.
Umthombo ongaziwa kule nkampani, ngokusho kwesiteshi sezindaba saseMelika i-CNBC, ubika ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukiswa yi-Apple bususelwa ekusetshenzisweni kwezinzwa ze-optical. Kufanele balinganise izinga le-glucose esegazini ngosizo lwemisebe yokukhanya ethunyelwa emithanjeni yegazi esikhunjeni.
Uma imizamo ye-Apple iphumelele, izonikeza ithemba lokuthuthuka kwezinga lempilo yezigidi zabantu abanesifo sikashukela, izovula amathemba amasha emkhakheni wokuxilongwa kwezokwelapha futhi kwethule imakethe entsha eyisisekelo yamamitha eglucose angahlaseli.
Omunye wochwepheshe ekwakhiweni kwamadivaysi okuxilonga abezokwelapha, uJohn Smith, ubiza ukwakhiwa kwe-glucometer eyiqiniso engahlaseli umsebenzi onzima kakhulu ake wawathola. Izinkampani eziningi zenza lo msebenzi, kepha azange ziphumelele, kepha imizamo yokudala lelo thuluzi ayime. UMnuz Trevor Gregg, umqondisi omkhulu weDeCCom Medical Corporation, uthe engxoxweni nabakwaReuters ukuthi izindleko zokuzama ukuphumelela kufanele kube yizigidi eziyikhulu noma zama-dollar ayizigidigidi. Yebo, i-Apple inethuluzi elinjalo.
Hhayi ukuzama kokuqala
Kuyaziwa ukuthi ngisho nomsunguli wale nkampani, uSteve Jobs, waphupha enza isixhobo sensor sokulinganisa okuwashi-ushukela, cholesterol, nesilinganiso senhliziyo, nokuhlanganiswa kwayo kusibonelo sokuqala samawashi ama-AppleWatch. Maye, yonke imininingwane etholwe kusukela kokuthuthuka ngaleso sikhathi ibingashayi emhloleni eyanele futhi ishiye lo mqondo okwesikhashana. Kepha umsebenzi awuzange ube yiqhwa.
Okungenzeka kakhulu, noma ngabe ososayensi elabhorethri yase-Apple bathola isisombululo esiphumelelayo, ngeke bakwazi ukusisebenzisa kumodeli elandelayo ye-AppleWatch, kulindeleke emakethe engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka we-2017. Emuva ngonyaka ka-2015, oyi-CEO yale nkampani, uTom Cook, uthe ukwakhiwa kwento enjalo kudinga ukubhaliswa nokubhaliswa isikhathi eside kakhulu. Kepha i-Apple ibucayi futhi iyahambisana nososayensi abaqashe iqembu labameli ukuthi basebenze ekusungulweni okuzayo.
Ubuchwepheshe bekhompyutha bezokwelapha
I-Apple akuyona kuphela inkampani engenasisekelo izama ukungena emakethe yedivayisi yezokwelapha. I-Google futhi inomnyango wezobuchwepheshe bezempilo osebenza kuma-lens okuxhumana angalinganisa umfutho wegazi ngemithambo yeso. Kusukela ngonyaka ka-2015, iGoogle ibilokhu isebenza ngokubambisana ne-DexCom esivele ngenhla ekwakhiweni kwe-glucometer, ngosayizi nangendlela yokusebenzisa efana nesiqobelo esivamile.
Okwamanje, abanesifo sikashukela emhlabeni wonke bathumela izifiso zenhlanhla eqenjini lososayensi be-Apple futhi bazwakalise ithemba lokuthi zonke iziguli zizokwazi ukukhokha igajethi enjalo, ngokungafani ne-AppleWatch ejwayelekile.
