An interdisciplinary team of researchers from various Chinese universities have developed a miniature-sized continuous glucose monitoring system that works as effectively as market-leading systems.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
The CGM sensor is made of an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), which better amplifies signal-to-noise ratio than conventional sensors.
It also features a minimally invasive...
A novel wearable sensor developed in Singapore does not rely on common biofluids such as blood and sweat to continuously monitor chronic health conditions.
Instead, it uses what is called "solid-state epidermal biomarkers," including cholesterol and lactate, found on the skin. These biomarkers, according to researchers from the National University of Singapore and the Agency for Science,...

The CBT VR on the Apple Vision Pro is intended to complement chronic pain treatment using opioids or serve as an alternative non-drug therapy. Similar VR-based...
The South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has approved the first locally-developed continuous glucose monitoring device.
The CareSens Air, developed by blood glucose device maker i-SENS, is touted to be the smallest and lightest CGM device available in South Korea. It can also be used for 15 days straight and features a calibration mechanism to make readings more reliable.
Following this...
The digital healthcare business of South Korean internet company Kakao Corporation has entered into a collaboration agreement with Dexcom to set up a global digital diabetes management service.
According to a press statement, the deal combines Kakao Healthcare's capabilities in AI and software technology with Dexcom's continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, Dexcom G6 and G7, which the...
Dexcom takes G6 CGM to Singapore
Global CGM device maker Dexcom has launched its latest CGM system in Singapore.
Distributed through its partner DKSH Singapore, the prick-less Dexcom G6 CGM uses a wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a compatible smart device.
It pairs with a companion mobile app on iOS and Android devices, enabling the...
DarioHealth is partnering with Dexcom to integrate the company's continuous glucose monitors into Dario's chronic-condition management platform.
The collaboration will allow Dario's digital health tools for metabolic health to include data from Dexcom CGMs, wearable sensors that automatically monitor blood glucose levels for patients with diabetes.
Dario said integrating CGM data would provide...
Dexcom announced last week that its G7 continuous glucose monitoring system has received FDA clearance.
The latest model of its CGM, which can be used by people with all types of diabetes ages 2 and up, is expected to launch in the U.S. early next year. As the company works out insurance coverage for the G7, it plans to offer cash payment options for early adopters.
The CGM fits on the back of...
Indian health and fitness app HealthifyMe has launched a new offering that combines health tracking and smart diagnostics to deliver personalised fitness and nutrition plans.
HealthifyPro is its latest flagship fitness plan that comes with a biosensor system of continuous glucose monitor (BIOS) and other sensors and body monitors; a connected Smart Scale metabolic panel; and support from in-house...
Continuous glucose monitoring system maker Senseonics has won FDA approval for its Eversense E3, which can be used to measure glucose levels in adults with diabetes for up to six months.
The system works using a sensor that is implanted just under the skin by a healthcare provider. A transmitter worn over the sensor, on top of the skin, receives glucose data, provides vibratory alerts and...
