What's the accuracy of the skin-prick patches that remain applied?

One potential solve is watch-only for non-diabetics and a more invasive watch + patch solution for those that need high accuracy.

The latest generation products have an MARD of around 8%, which is good enough to make insulin dosing decisions.

They don't currently send data directly to Apple watches (it goes through the iPhone first), but that's largely a regulatory approval issue, not a technical one.
