Which device was attached to Stephanie Ruto’s arm?
The event took place on Sunday, February 15, drawing crowds and sparking widespread discussion online.
Stephanie, who maintains a notably low-profile life despite her father’s position, explained that Ruto specifically chose her to represent the family due to her professional expertise.
In her remarks at the gathering, she expressed genuine joy in attending and connecting with the children present. She also made it clear she has no interest in politics, preferring to focus on her work rather than public speaking.
A law graduate from Strathmore University, where she completed her degree around 2019, Stephanie has built her career quietly outside the political spotlight.
One netizen asked about a white, round patch attached to her arm.
“Meet Stephanie Ruto, daughter of President Ruto. What is this device on her arm?” he posed on X.
Ummih Hassan, a medical doctor, told TUKO.co.ke that the device is an adhesive glucose sensor.
What did doctor say about Stephanie Ruto’s adhesive glucose sensor?
“It is a key component of modern continuous glucose monitoring systems used by people with diabetes to track blood sugar levels in real time without frequent pricking of the finger.
This small, wearable device features a thin sensor filament inserted just under the skin, typically on the upper arm or abdomen, paired with a strong medical-grade adhesive patch that secures it firmly in place for days or weeks. The adhesive holds the sensor steady during daily activities, including showering, exercising, or sleeping, while allowing the device to measure glucose in interstitial fluid.”
The medic said that the sensor transmits data wirelessly to a smartphone app or receiver, providing alerts for high or low glucose trends.
