### Latest Advancements in Noninvasive Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) For decades, people with diabetes have dreamed of a device that can measure blood glucose without the need to poke the skin. Recent advancements are making this dream closer to reality. Here are some of the latest developments: 1. **Scanbo**: This company from British Columbia has developed a prototype that uses a 60-second noninvasive finger measurement combining ECG and PPG technologies to analyze glucose levels. 2. **Hagar Technology**: Based in Israel, this company is developing the GWave, a wristband that uses radio frequencies to detect glucose levels. It connects to a mobile app for real-time monitoring. 3. **SugarBEAT**: From the UK, this peel-and-place patch sticks to the skin and uses a mild electric current to draw glucose molecules into the patch. It sends readings to a smartphone app every 5 minutes. 4. **Know Labs**: This Seattle-based company is developing wristband and finger-scanning devices that use Bio-RFID technology to measure glucose through the skin. 5. **DiaMonTech**: A German company using molecular spectroscopy to detect glucose molecules through the skin. They are working on multiple versions of their device. 6. **NovioSense**: A Dutch startup developing a glucose sensor placed under the lower eyelid to send measurements wirelessly to a smartphone. 7. **LifeLeaf**: A Silicon Valley startup developing a wristwatch that uses spectroscopic principles to measure glucose levels along with other health metrics. 8. **Afon Technology**: Based in Wales, this company is developing a sensor for a smartwatch band to monitor glucose levels in real-time. Big tech companies like Apple and Samsung are also rumored to be working on noninvasive CGM sensors. While many challenges remain, the future looks promising for noninvasive glucose monitoring technology.
