From time to time we hear news about new technologies; new apps and anything that is supposed to be designed to make our lives comfortable. We hear the latest smartphone from Apple or the latest feature from Facebook and now we heard there's something new with Google.

Yes, if you don't known by now, tech companies have been trying to produce something and each time they upped the ante, the other rises trying to outdo each competitor and the cycle continues. This time, the latest came from Google.

It has just been reported that the tech giant has just filed for a U.S patent that is aimed to help those with diabetes and eventually might be even use for other blood tests. One can admit that sometimes if one is sick or needs a test done, getting prick with a needle once or twice can be tolerated but anything more could be quite painful.

With this latest patent, a needle free blood draw smartwatch, people might be more willing to have their tests without further grumblings in the future. The patent filed shows a smartwatch that could be wearable or handheld; this device in the future might eventually replace glucose meters.

The idea of such a smartphone is for the device to have a gas-powered micro particle that will puncture the user's or patient's skin to take a small amount of blood into a negative pressure barrel. The samples can then be sent to a lab or measured via a handheld device. The patent also promises that the smartwatch would be as pain less as possible.

With the patent out, people might anticipate when it will come to production. But, one can never really know, as it is still a patent. And like some or most patents, there are really no guarantees that it will make its way as a product. It could be a good product though.

This patent will not be Google's first project for diabetics. Recently, Google, in partnership with giant Pharmacy Novartis, is currently developing "smart" contact lenses. One set of the lenses are said to be wirelessly connected to mobile devices that will monitor blood sugar levels. The other one is for treating far sightedness.

The lenses' technology will involve non-invasive microchips, sensors, and other mini-electronics embedded within the lens. The tech giant says that these smart lenses might have other uses in the future. Also recently, they have sent another patent for a lens with built-in camera.
