We - at DiaMonTech - are working on non-invasive glucose monitoring for over a decade now. It's a hard and complex problem and as long as clinical data is missing, I'm very sceptical.

We just reached (in a clinical trial) a comparable accuracy as early-stage invasive devices that got FDA approved with a shoe-box-sized device and we still have some work to do. The pre-print of our publication is here: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5289491/v1

I'm excited to see new developments but in this case, I'm not sure this will reach the market anytime soon.




I was actually thinking about your product when venting my frustrations elsewhere in the thread. Your site was mentioning elsewhere that you had a working shoebox-sized device which, "due to its size", was "only targeted at hospitals".

Man, you have no idea. I'd gladly buy a shoebox-sized thing. No finger pricking and no test strips to buy is the king. It could be 4U rackmount thing for all I care, as long as it was noninvasive and accurate.


It's not approved yet anyway. But if you are ever in Berlin, let me know and I'll give you a tour.


Why do you think that this will not reach the market anytime soon?


Because the engineers of the University of Waterloo haven't shown any clinical data yet.
