A wearable sensor for continuous glucose monitoring for diabetics

Minimally invasive sensor

Diabetes patients require frequent monitoring of blood glucose so they can take action to avoid complications due to frequent hyper- and hypoglycemia (blood sugar levels). This project will develop a carbon nanotube-based, minimally invasive, tissue-implantable, “wearable” sensor that can measure and report a patient’s glucose levels on a continuous basis, allowing much better glucose control and resulting in better patient health.
