About GlucoTrack
GlucoTrack® monitors blood glucose levels without the need to draw blood. GlucoTrack® features a small sensor that clips to the earlobe and tracks the wearer's blood glucose level by taking measurements using three technologies. The measurements are analyzed using a proprietary algorithm and displayed on a small handheld device, the size of a mobile phone. The derived blood glucose measurement is also announced verbally, making it suitable for the elderly and vision-impaired diabetes patients. The Company has obtained a CE Mark approval for its GlucoTrack® Model DF-F in Europe (June 2013) and final CE Mark approval in March 2014, and intends to seek Food and Drug Administration approval for GlucoTrack® Model DF-F in the United States.
