Google has shed some light on one of their latest endeavors and this one looks to help the one in every 19 people in this world that has diabetes. Uncontrolled blood sugar puts people at risk for a range of dangerous complications, some short-term and others longer term, including damage to the eyes, kidneys and heart. Not only do you have to keep your sugar levels under control but the process to monitor your glucose level is disruptive and painful.

Google is now testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material. They’re testing prototypes that can generate a reading once per second and even looking into integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed above or below certain thresholds.

Multiple clinical research studies have been completed so this smart contact lens is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality. Talks with the FDA are ongoing and they’re exploring partners that can leverage this technology for a smart contact lens and develop apps that would make the measurements available to the wearer and their doctor.

The Google Translate app just got a massive upgrade, giving users some new features that will really make communicating with others a breeze when you’re traveling. For example, the new Word Lens feature lets you translate instantly without Internet or data by just pointing your camera to a sign or text. This currently supports French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. You can even just snap a photo, highlight the text, and get a translation across 36 languages with Camera Mode.

 Though we’ve seen plenty of private data storage apps crop up, Keeply has done a great job of impressing still. The app allows you to protect your private files, photos, notes and passwords through an easy-to-use interface that doesn’t let anything be saved off the cloud. Where an app like 1Password focuses primarily on saving website passwords, Keeply’s the one-stop shop for everything from credit card numbers to private notes, pins, and photos. And it doesn’t hurt that the design of the app is just downright beautiful. One of our favorite features is Keeply’s ability to snap a photo of anyone who unsuccessfully tries to access your data. The fake pin feature lets you put in a second bogus pin that will open the app with no information. Best of all, Keeply is free and available now through the app store.

There will soon be one more place where you can purchase goods with Apple Pay, and for the first time, it's located 35,000 feet in the sky: a JetBlue airplane. The company is in the process of replacing its old in-flight payment systems with iPad minis that can accept mobile payments from iPhones 6 and 6 Plus.

And yes, you can use the option to buy food, booze and even upgrade to an empty premium seat, in case you're struck with the need to treat yourself: just place the phone with your thumb on the home key near the flight attendant's iPad mini. Apple believes this won't be the last time an airline welcomes Apple Pay on board either, so if you don't fly JetBlue, well, you may want to cross your fingers that your favorite carrier follows suit.
