Problem
Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems rely on invasive needles for blood extraction, causing pain and discomfort, which can deter frequent monitoring and proactive diabetes management. The cost of current systems also limits accessibility for many patients.
Solution
Transdermal Diagnostics has developed a needle-free continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system that uses a disposable adhesive skin patch to extract biological substances through hair follicles. The system consists of a disposable skin patch and a rechargeable transmitter that wirelessly communicates with a dedicated smartphone app. This non-invasive approach aims to provide a pain-free and more accessible solution for individuals with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and those at risk, enabling them to monitor their glucose levels continuously and manage their condition more effectively. The technology targets improved glucose control, reduced complications, and better adherence to monitoring schedules.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and pre-diabetes, as well as those seeking a preventative approach to managing blood glucose levels.
