Biosensors

Needle-free, handheld blood sugar monitoring devices

Echo Therapeutics Inc, Philadelphia, introduces two new needle-free technologies, the Symphony® tCGM System and the Prelude® SkinPrep System. Symphony monitors blood sugar levels transdermally, meaning through the skin, so no needles are needed. The sensor reacts to the glucose and sends the reading by electric signal to a wireless handheld device, a personal computer, or a smartphone. Hospital personnel can place the sensors on patients to give real-time continuous readings to monitor patients and eliminate any margin of error. If a patient’s glucose levels begin to change, physicians can be alerted in minutes of any fluctuations. A gentle adhesive keeps the sensor in place, and the device continuously monitors glucose levels every minute.
