Problem
Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems can be cumbersome, require frequent scanning or wires, and may not seamlessly integrate with various devices and platforms, creating barriers to effortless glucose control for individuals managing diabetes. Existing sensors can also be painful due to their size and the fact that they reach the nerves of the skin.
Solution
Sensible Healthcare Systems offers "idi," a painless and reusable CGM system designed for effortless glucose monitoring and seamless integration into users' lifestyles. The system utilizes a small microneedle patch that is 40 times smaller than current sensors and does not reach the nerves of the skin, minimizing discomfort. Glucose measurements are securely transmitted to any compatible device via an open platform, eliminating the need for scanning or wires. The idi system is designed to be almost entirely reusable, with only the microneedle patch requiring weekly replacement, making it a more affordable and environmentally friendly solution.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with (pre-)diabetes seeking a more convenient and less intrusive method for continuous glucose monitoring, as well as healthcare professionals involved in diabetes management.
