There’s no gadget phenomenon quite like the iPod. But if you’re looking for a medgadget with as much hype, potential for mass adoption, accessories, and general sleek coolness, look no further than the GlucoBand — the iPod of medgadgets:
The Glucoband is a compact electronic scanning device that utilizes a bio-electromagnetic resonance phenomenon to non-invasively measure blood glucose levels in the human body, and to continuously monitor the blood glucose level.
A wrist-watch-like Glucoband, with fully integrated LCD screen, electronic circuits, integrated electrodes, battery and adjustable wrist-band, is placed on the person’s wrist. The initial measurement process takes only a few minutes, however, in the monitoring mode, measurements can be continuous and only the frequency of measurements must be determined. The Glucoband targets diabetics who are measuring their own blood glucose, and medical personnel who are using blood glucose measuring and monitoring devices in clinics, hospitals and other point-of-care facilities. The measurements meet FDA requirements for accuracy and correlation.
Now, word comes that the GlucoBand blood sugar wristwatch will be widely available by the end of the year. Just in time for the holidays! Diabetics can look forward to monitoring their sugar painlessly and stylishly — and if you’re not diabetic, well, there’s still time…
