SpectRX Continuous Glucose Monitor
SpectRX is currently developing a continuous glucose monitor that will be a diabetic patch on the skin. This diabetic patch will monitor glucose using a patented laser microporation technology that tests glucose by accessing the skin interstitial fluid (ISF). ISF is the clear fluid found between the cells in the body, and there's been clinical research done to show that ISF glucose levels correlate to glucose levels in the blood. SpectRX Continuous Glucose Monitor would give diabetics the benefit of continuous glucose monitoring without taking blood.
American Diabetes Services, a leading provider of diabetic testing supplies, believes that advances like this diabetic patch are going to revolutionize how diabetics monitor their diabetes. This diabetic patch is an important step to making diabetic testing easier, motivating diabetics to test more often.
How Does This Diabetic Patch Works?
SpectRX Continuous Glucose Monitor draws a stream of ISF continuously into the diabetic patch through an array of micropores made with a laser in the outer layer of skin. The micropores are very small, about the diameter of a human hair. The glucose sensors in the diabetic patch takes readings and transmits the information to a wireless, handheld device that outputs the glucose test results for the diabetic to read.
Potential Benefits of SpectRX Continuous Glucose Monitor
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring - ISF fluid is constantly being cycled through the diabetic patch, allowing for continuous monitoring of glucose levels.
- Non-Invasive Diabetes Testing - With this patch, diabetics won't need needles, testing strips, lancets, or implanted sensors. SpectRX patch will use ISF, not blood to perform diabetes testing.
- Optimized Diabetes Treatment - With continuous glucose monitoring, healthcare providers will be able to better anticipate diabetics needs.
- Easy to Use Diabetic Patch - SpectRX patch is designed to be comfortable to wear and offers automatic operation so diabetics have to do minimal work to manage their diabetes.
