This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.

Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive review of diabetic technology in India. Researchers are persistently integrating novel technologies and enhanced medical knowledge to offer further avenues for improving the well-being of individuals with diabetes. Continuous patient engagement is essential by using highly effective technologies that address pertinent issues, as certain problems can be resolved with precision. India has a demographically large population, characterized by a substantial segment of individuals with diabetes. The estimated prevalence of diabetes in India is approximately 8%, with type 2 diabetes accounting for half of these occurrences. India’s per capita expenditure on health constantly falls behind that of other developing countries. Refined statistical data indicate that India’s healthcare expenditure is <50% of the average expenditure observed in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.
