The NIHR Horizon Scanning Research and Intelligence Centre has published a horizon scanning review on new and emerging non-invasive glucose monitoring technologies in development for people with diabetes.
The report also summarises the views expressed by healthcare professionals and people with diabetes and their carers on the technologies identified. These include comments on the benefit NIGM technologies might bring, the important features needed in future commercial technologies and the key issues concerning their use and adoption into the healthcare system. Forty products based on technologies as diverse as Raman spectrometry, and temporary tattoos using reverse ionophoresis are identified. Of these products 39 are in development with only the FreeStyle Libre launched; two others (SugarBEAT and EyeSense) may launch this year and 5 more in the next two years. See: HERE
