Nemaura Medical, a company out of Loughborough, UK, won European regulatory approval to introduce its sugarBEAT continuous glucose monitoring system. The package includes a daily disposable skin patch and an adhesive sensor that sticks over it, and a smartphone running the sugarBEAT app or a standalone sugarBEAT reader.
The patch sticks painlessly to the skin, whether to the arm, leg, or abdomen. It does require an old-fashioned finger prick test to calibrate it once it’s stuck on. The electronic sensor powers the sensing every five minutes, gathering readings and passing them on to the smartphone or sugarBEAT reader. From there the results can be shared with one’s doctor, family members, or caretakers.
The firm expects to release the system toward the end of this year in Europe.
