Dublin, Nov. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k6jcxb/noninvasive)
has announced the addition of the "Noninvasive
Glucose Monitors Devices, Technologies, Players and Prospects"
report to their offering.
For diabetes patients, glucose monitoring is a way of life, a
several-times-per-day routine critical to physiological health. But
while the traditional finger prick method has been a standard
disease management tool for decades, issues of patient compliance
and the limitations of current methods in detecting short-term
fluctuations in glucose levels have brought a host of companies
into the hunt for less invasive and more user-friendly
alternatives. Now the convergence of small-scale electronics and
sophisticated biocompatible product designs is giving hope for a
better future to millions of diabetes patients worldwide.
Noninvasive glucose monitors that can measure glucose levels
accurately and reliably have the capability to improve glycemic
control and patient wellbeing. By integrating the sensing element,
electronics, and a power source in a single package, noninvasive
monitors are creating new options for caregivers and their diabetes
patients. Signal processing improvements - include improved
signal-to-noise ratios and interference filtering - will continue
to be critical to the commercialization prospects of noninvasive
monitors.
While the potential is substantial, for most participants the road
to commercialization will contain numerous speed bumps and delays
that will strain capitalization requirements and investor patience.
Successful players will be those that realize the value of
partnerships and strategic alliances.
