Innovative Medical Technologies: Revolutionizing Blood Sampling and Diabetes Treatment

The video discusses iontophoresis, a non-invasive technique that uses electric currents to move substances across the skin, eliminating the need for needles. It highlights the Gluco Watch, a device for diabetics that monitors glucose levels without finger sticks. Additionally, it covers research at Bristol University on a type one diabetes vaccine that uses iontophoresis for delivery, aiming to stimulate protective immune cells without triggering aggressive responses.
