Minimally-invasive glucose monitoring device developed at IIT-M

Researchers astatine the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) person developed a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and minimally-invasive continuous glucose monitoring instrumentality for diabetes patients.

Unlike accepted glucose monitoring devices, this 1 displays glucose readings straight connected the patch. It boasts a modular strategy that combines reusable electronics and a low-power show portion with a disposable microneedle sensor patch, a property merchandise said.

The strategy is designed to relation connected debased power, extending artillery beingness and reducing the frequence of charging. The show module and halfway innovations person been protected done aggregate Indian patents.

The instrumentality was developed by researchers astatine the Electronic Materials and Thin Films Lab, nether Parasuraman Swaminathan, professor, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT-M.

A start-up task has already been formed to absorption exclusively connected refining the device, conducting objective trials, and bringing it to the market. The researchers are successful progressive discussions with aesculapian instrumentality manufacturers to licence the technology, the merchandise said.
