NovioSense Announces Positive Clinical Trial Results of Tear Glucose Measurement Technology

NovioSense has demonstrated the measurement of tear glucose in diabetic patients and a close correlation to blood glucose with clinically relevant accuracy. A second, 24-patient study, to validate the use of the new glucose sensor in type 1 diabetic patients is already commencing. NovioSense BV, a company based in The Netherlands, announced positive data from its Phase 2 tear glucose sensor study. The NovioSense Glucose Sensor is a device that, when placed in the lower eyelid, continuously measures glucose levels in the tear fluid of diabetic patients and is able to send readings to a paired smartphone. The results of the six-patient clinical trial are presented in the latest issue of the American Chemical Society’s journal Biomacromolecules.
