Glucowizzard™ is a totally implantable biosensor for continuous glucose monitoring intended for Diabetes management and care. The device is implanted within the subcutaneous tissue and wirelessly communicates with a watch-like unit that displays the glucose levels in real-time fashion. In addition, this watch-like unit interfaces with various personal digital accessories (smartphones, laptops etc.,) for data storage and transmission to a health-care provider.
Glucowizzard™ provides unique advantages over other devices. Some of these are include:
- Needle-implantable due to the ultra-small (0.5 X 0.5 X 5 mm) device size (does not require surgery for implantation);
- Accurate readings due to unique sensing element design;
- Long life time (minimum of 3 months);
- Wireless transmission of glucose levels to the Diabetic, his/her caretaker and health care provider;
- Patient comfort and compliance
