Solving Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring - Synex Medical

Despite billions of dollars and decades of research, non-invasive glucose monitoring remains an unsolved problem. Nearly 10% of the world population lives with diabetes and must constantly measure their blood glucose levels to manage their condition. Today, every measure of glucose is invasive, with the vast majority of people relying on finger-pricks. This is a massive health crisis responsible for the daily suffering of hundreds of millions of people. Work toward non-invasive glucose monitoring began in the early 1970s, and since then numerous techniques have been explored, including infrared absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, transdermal techniques like reverse iontophoresis, and correlation with other biofluids such as sweat or saliva, among others. But after decades of research, there has yet to be an accurate, successful technology. This body of failures is represented in one sentence: no portable technique has ever reliably been shown to non
