Nemaura Medical's sugarBEAT device is a Continuous Glucose Monitor that does not require any involvement of needles. It recently got European approval to be incorporated for diabetic patients - the device also boasts connective elements. It can pair with a smartphone for users to track their glucose readings every five minutes.
The wearable diabetic device is an alternative solution to the traditional method of pricking fingers. Its patches are disposable and it functions using electric currents that trace glucose levels across the skin. The mild currents are not felt by users and works through an entirely painless process. The patches require 30-60 minutes of preparation time before glucose readings can be measured and the readings are available for 24 hours.
