LOUGHBOROUGH, England. Nemaura Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company developing sugarBEAT® as a non-invasive affordable and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for use by people with diabetes and pre-diabetics, today announced the successful development of predictive algorithms that will allow the inclusion of alarms in its sugarBEAT® CGM.
This development is expected to make sugarBEAT® more appealing to insulin users, a Total Addressable Market valued at $50Bn. CGM adoption amongst people with diabetes is minimal and growing rapidly, with the U.S. the largest single market, with an estimated 2.6% (630,000 users) of all diagnosed diabetics using CGM in 2018, representing annualized growth of 117%.1
Over the course of the last 14 months Nemaura Medical has gathered and analysed data stemming from over 25,000 paired data points between sugarBEAT® and blood serum samples taken using a venous catheter at 15 minute intervals for 12 consecutive hours. This analysis has led to substantial algorithm improvements, including predictive functionality, allowing alarms to be incorporated into sugarBEAT®.
Results indicate the alarm functionality can predict glucose level 5 minutes in advance with 98% accuracy, 10 minutes in advance with 95% accuracy and 15 minutes in advance with 90% accuracy.
SugarBEAT® is anticipated to receive CE Mark approval in the coming weeks and launch in the United Kingdom shortly thereafter.
SugarBEAT® has the potential to expand the use of CGM amongst people with diabetes and pre-diabetics given it is non-invasive and flexible, as compared to competitor CGMs, which are invasive and designed to be continuously worn for periods of up to seven days or longer.
