Nemaura Medical’s sugarBEAT could be used without finger stick

Nemaura Medical announced data indicating sugarBEAT could potentially be used as an adjunctive CGM without the need for finger-stick calibration. Nemaura retrospectively evaluated a portion of previously completed clinical data for 75 patients, using a refined factory calibration constant, based upon newly developed algorithms. 66% of patches worn by 92% of the patients generating 9,863 paired data points were evaluated, with 58% of these paired data points giving a MARD of 13.61%. Nemaura further noted 73% of these paired data points gave a MARD of 17.83%. Nemaura is currently undertaking additional data analysis, to potentially allow sugarBEAT to be used with zero or reduced frequency finger-stick calibration. SugarBEAT is anticipated to launch in the UK in the coming months, and is intended to be marketed to all categories of diabetics, including Type 1, Type 2 and pre-diabetics.
