Glucose Monitoring Patch
Definition
A Glucose Monitoring Patch is a wearable medical device designed to continuously or intermittently measure blood glucose levels. It typically uses sensors embedded in the patch to monitor glucose in interstitial fluid, transmitting data wirelessly to a smartphone, smartwatch, or dedicated device for real-time glucose management.
Relevance to the MedTech Industry
Glucose monitoring patches provide a non-invasive, convenient, and continuous solution for managing diabetes. They reduce the need for frequent finger-prick blood tests and offer detailed insights into glucose trends, enabling proactive management of blood sugar levels and improving overall patient outcomes.
