For diabetes patients, glucose monitoring is a way of life,
a several-times-per-day routine critical to physiological
health. But while the traditional finger prick method has
been a standard disease management tool for decades, issues
of patient compliance and the limitations of current methods
in detecting short-term fluctuations in glucose levels have
brought a host of companies into the hunt for less invasive
and more user-friendly alternatives. Now the convergence of
small-scale electronics and sophisticated biocompatible
product designs is giving hope for a better future to
millions of diabetes patients worldwide. Noninvasive glucose
monitors that can measure glucose levels accurately and
reliably have the capability to improve glycemic control and
patient wellbeing. By integrating the sensing element,
electronics, and a power source in a single package,
noninvasive monitors are creating new options for caregivers
and their diabetes patients. Signal processing improvements
- include improved signal-to-noise ratios and interference
filtering - will continue to be critical to the
commercialization prospects of noninvasive monitors. While
the potential is substantial, for most participants the road
to commercialization will contain numerous speed bumps and
delays that will strain capitalization requirements and
investor patience. Successful players will be those that
realize the value of partnerships and strategic alliances. |
