It goes without saying that with technology advancing by leaps and bounds these days, we will be getting medical implants in a few hundred different ways to help us live longer and better. Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo have even come up with a new fluorescent fiber sensor that intends to pave the way for long-term in vivo continuous glucose monitoring. The sensor is said to be able to overcome current limitations that rely on current enzyme-based implanted glucose sensors, which are plagued by poor accuracy, stability and constantly require the use of oxygen.
