Glucone: noninvasive blood glucose

Filed under: Diagnostics , Medicine

Glucone: noninvasive blood glucoseGlobes [online] reports that the Israeli company Glucone has been awarded a US patent for "the use of photoacoustic waves originating in the blood vessel to calculate the concentration of glucose in the blood vessel."

The technology should relieve millions of diabetic patients from suffering a daily routine of self sticking to measure blood sugar. In addition, the continuous display of blood glucose should optimize the diabetic treatment. The company is working to bring its Glucose Monitoring Watch to the market in the future.

I am also very interested in this noninvasive device. Please advise market availability. Is there a pre-order site or email mailing list for updates regarding market availability?

This is one of the best advancements out there - long overdue.
Thank you for your continued work in this area!

Hi

I am living in Australia.

Anyone with information on the gluco watch; if and where I can purchase in Australia, Queensland?

Further information on initial cost and supplies would be appreciated.
