San Diego-based Biolinq can now scale its new generation of wearable sensors designed for comfort, simplicity and global reach. Its Shine sensor integrates glucose, activity and sleep information into a single device with autonomous operation. The company plans to initially market the device to people with type 2 diabetes not dependent on insulin.
The first-of-its-kind system utilizes a patch on the forearm to provide real-time glucose feedback through a primary color-coded LED display, visible with or without a phone. Users can access additional insights for activity and sleep trends through a mobile app.
