About GlucoTrack®GlucoTrack® is a truly non-invasive monitoring device that rapidly measures and displays an individual's glucose level in about a minute without finger pricking or any pain.
GlucoTrack® features a small sensor that clips to the earlobe and measures the user's glucose level using innovative and patented sensor technology. The measured signals are analyzed using a proprietary algorithm and then a calculated glucose level is displayed on a small handheld device the size of a small mobile phone. The glucose results are stored in the device and used for a projected HbA1c level using a proprietary algorithm. The device also displays the glucose values graphically allowing the user to monitor glucose over a period of time.
GlucoTrack® has received CE Mark and KFDA approvals for type 2 diabetes and prediabetics, and is currently in the early stages of commercialization in Europe, South Korea and other geographies.
GlucoTrack® is expected to begin clinical trials for United States FDA approval in late 2017. The product is currently experimental in the United States and is limited to investigational use only.
