Rutherford, NJ, July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- - Glucotrack, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCTK) (“Glucotrack” or the “Company”), a medical device and digital health platform company focused on diabetes and prediabetes, announced today the completion and positive results of its feasibility study for its implantable continuous glucose monitor technology for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes.
The primary goal of the feasibility study was to demonstrate that the CGM sensor design could reliably report glucose measurements for two years post-implant. Laboratory bench testing confirmed that a minimum two-year implant longevity is highly probable with the current sensor design. The implant longevity was independently verified by a third-party using sensor parameters to simulate sensor performance over time.
Given the positive results of the study, the Company is now preparing for long-term animal studies, which are expected to begin later this year.
“We are pleased to have met our goal to confidently project a long-term sensor life that is at least four times longer than what is currently available for an implantable CGM, without the requirement for external wearables or frequent calibrations.” said Paul Goode, CEO of Glucotrack. “We look forward to the animal study as the next development step of this exciting technology that can help improve the lives of so many.”
Glucotrack is committed to commercializing an implantable CGM with long-term sensor life with no requirement for any additional wearable component, and a once-only calibration. The Company believes that these will be key differentiators as compared to other continuous glucose monitors, either currently on the market or known to be in development.
