Minuscule Glucose Monitors
From: Bioscience Technology - 08/13/2015

DexCom, a medical device manufacturer, announced today it was teaming up with
the life sciences division at Google to create a new type of continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM) system for patients with diabetes.

Both organizations want to build a “bandage-sized sensor” that can connect to
the cloud to help patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes track their
glucose levels in real-time.

The hope is that these monitors can become the standard of care and replace
the current finger-stick testing methods. A specific price range for these
CGMs was not disclosed, but DexCom’s release specified the devices would be
cost-effective and disposable.
