“ The technology is comprised of a painless wearable sensor, mobile app, and patient monitoring platform. We have developed a painless continuous monitoring sensor that minimizes the risk of infection, injury and inconvenience to patients. Its unique design allows for low-cost manufacturing while maintaining high accuracy. The sensor is worn on the arm for 14 days and sends readings to a mobile app every few minutes. The app automatically alerts when levels are out of target range.” says Huang.
