Painless Breakthrough in Diabetes Care: Smarter Monitoring and Drug Delivery

A wearable technology developed by Technion Professor Hossam Haick and colleagues in China enables real-time, non-invasive tracking and optimized treatment for diabetic patients.

The researchers recently published their findings in Nature Communications, detailing a wearable platform that enables precise drug dosing through continuous, real-time monitoring of disease and drug markers. Based on microneedles, the system continuously monitors – via the interstitial fluid in the skin – glucose levels and the level of metformin, a common diabetes medication. “This is a new chapter in dynamic, personalized, real-time disease management,” said Prof. Haick.
