Is Google about to take a huge dive into the health industry?
The search engine giant has just filed a patent for a “needle-free blood draw” system that could be worn on your wrist and help people who need regular draws to get blood quickly and painlessly, according to a The Verge report.
The patent was just published this week and is therefore still pending. It lays out how the blood draw system would work: it would send gas into a barrel with a micro-particle that would pierce the skin, releasing blood that is quickly sucked up in the barrel that has negative pressure.
