- May 23, 2022Painless patch in development for diabetes monitoring
Researchers are developing a tiny, painless, wearable patch for people with type 1 diabetes that will send crucial readings to their smartphones.
The new project, funded by the JDRF (formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), involves the use of hundreds of tiny microneedles to sense glucose and ketone levels.
The research team is aiming to bring a product to market within the next few years to provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring to improve health and eliminate painful, inconvenient finger pricks.
