HME Square is working to measure blood glucose painlessly via photoacoustics nextdigitalhealth.com

People who have diabetes or those who take care of diabetes patients know the struggle they go through as the procedure to measure blood glucose is an invasive one right now which means they have to prick the skin every day in order to measure the levels which is painful for both the patient and the caretaker. This is where HME Square is developing a non-invasive way to measure blood glucose levels with its new device.

HME Square’s founder says “The company’s device uses a MEMS sensor and photoacoustics using deep learning to measure blood sugar” and adds that “Photoacoustics is a noninvasive sensing technique that involves shining light on a substance (such as blood) and reading the ultrasonic waves it emits. The technology also can be used for broader applications in various biological substances in the body. For example, it can monitor ketones, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol in phase 2, and bilirubin and creatinine in phase 3”.
