Foundational Research for non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring device development
Principal Investigator
Prof. Boby George
Co-Investigator
Prof. Anubama Rajan
Objective
- To set up critical research equipment required to develop non-invasive CGM prototypes., To initiate sensor characterization and testing using funded equipment., To deliver measurable outputs within the project period, such as initial sensor designs and performance data.
Description
- Diabetes affects over 77 million people in India, requiring innovative approaches for effective management. Existing glucose monitoring technologies are highly invasive, relying on frequent finger pricks or implantable devices, which can cause discomfort and inconvenience., This project focuses on developing a non-invasive CGM device, leveraging advanced sensor technologies that enable painless, affordable glucose monitoring. By eliminating the need for invasive methods and reducing costs, the project aims to make glucose monitoring accessible to a broader population, particularly underserved communities.
Impact
- Establish a foundation research lab for advanced CGM research., Demonstrate feasibility of non-invasive glucose sensors using state-of-the-art techniques., Create a pathway for scaling research to clinical and real-world applications, enabling future CSR or institutional investments.
