# Non-Invasive Diabetic Accessories This Wristworn Glucose Monitor Measures Levels without a Needle By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-05-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glucose-monitor References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/05/07/a-future-fit-band-for-diabetes/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/25327023/GLYCOUNT-future-of-humane-diabetes-management) The sensors that scientists, technologists and engineers are working on currently may soon enable a product like this glucose monitor to hit the market. Intended for sufferers of diabetes, this discrete Glycount watch concept is an envisioning of a [continuous blood sugar gauge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/islet) that does not require the patient to prick himself. With highly sensitive nodes that can detect glucose levels in the skin, the [wrist-worn device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitvii-health-watch) is constantly giving the person feedback about his condition. Indrajeet Bakhale's e-ink face can be activated at any time, in order to display one's levels instantly. Besides the needle-less design, a notable user-friendly feature of this glucose monitor is the way that the information gathered is recorded, organized and delivered to the wearer in a digestible manner. Direct advice about sugar consumption is given throughout the day, and wearer and his doctor can browse the collected data for constructive use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Continuous Glucose Monitoring:** Developing wearable devices that continuously monitor glucose levels without the need for needles presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry. - **Sensors for Skin-based Glucose Detection:** Advancements in creating highly sensitive nodes that can detect glucose levels in the skin open up possibilities for disruptive innovations in medical technology. - **User-friendly Data Visualization:** Creating innovative ways to record, organize, and deliver health data in a digestible manner presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the healthcare technology sector. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can leverage continuous glucose monitoring technology to enhance diabetic care and offer more convenient solutions for patients. - **Medical Technology:** The development of sensors for skin-based glucose detection can disrupt the medical technology industry by providing non-invasive and accurate monitoring solutions. - **Healthcare Technology:** Innovations in user-friendly data visualization have the potential to disrupt the healthcare technology industry by enabling better data-driven insights and user engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Non-Invasive Continuous Glucose Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noninvasive-continuous-glucose-monitor.md) - [Glucose Monitoring Biosensor Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stelo-glucose-biosensor-system.md) - [Innovative Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noninvasive-glucose-monitoring.md) - [Real-Time Blood Sugar Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexcom-g7.md) - [Portable Diabetes Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspo-smart-insulin.md) - [Handheld Glucose Monitoring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intuity-medical.md) - [Continuous Glucose-Monitoring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abbott-lingo.md) - [NFC-Enabled Glucose Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curo-g10.md) - [Connected Insulin Injection Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-insulin-pen-caps.md)
