This is the biggest scam in the App Store today and Apple is doing nothing about it | Laptop News

My wife is a diabetic and multiple times each day she has to draw blood from a finger and place it on a disposable test strip inserted into a glucometer. This machine spits out her blood sugar reading helping her determine how much insulin she needs to inject into her body. It’s important for her to know this information because too large a dose could give her a low blood sugar or hypoglycemic reaction that could land her in a coma.

Harmoni-Health & Sleep claims to measure your blood sugar using your iPhone and the app

The number of diabetics worldwide that take insulin daily is as high as 200 million people which makes them a pretty big target to be scammed. Recently my wife received an ad on her iPhone for an app called Harmoni-Health & Sleep which indicated that the app could obtain the user’s blood glucose reading using the app on an iPhone. When I headed over to the App Store and looked at the app’s listing, there was not one word of this amazing achievement.

There was a screenshot in the App Store listing for Harmoni that says “Track Health Trends” and it shows a Blood Sugar reading and a chart of someone’s blood glucose trend. But all the page says is that the app “tracks” Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, and Blood Oxygen. By “track,” the developers mean that you have you get your glucose reading the old-fashioned way through a glucometer and type the results in to the app. The app does not measure your blood glucose like it tries to get you to believe. The same applies for blood pressure readings.
