  1. Non-Invasive Glucometer by Grove Instraments™ Jonathan Ims

  2. Invasive Glucometer (Current) • Present day – best way blood sugar level • The reason is accuracy • Problems: • Can be painful • Messy • Costly • Average number of tests a day is 1.6, compared to the recommend 4 times a day

  3. Non-Invasive Glucometer (Future) • How it works: • Finger or Earlobe goes into the slot • Uses near-infrared light to measure real-time blood glucose levels • Takes 20 seconds or less • What Separates This Device From • Other Non-Invasive Devices? • “Optical Bridge” • Measurements are taken directly from the blood not from interstitial fluid

  4. Non-Invasive Glucometer Data • Clinical Trials • 40 in-house sessions a week • Data • Mean Average Relative Difference (MARD) of 8 to 12% • International Standard requires glucometers to differ from blood standard by less than 20%

  5. Conclusion • Grove’s Device • Passed International Standard for the last 2 years • Expected to be released during 2013 • Faster, cleaner, and pain free compared to invasive devises • Small and battery operated • Limitations • MARD percentage
