Nemaura Medical Inc. is a UK based Medical Technology company developing a wireless non-invasive blood glucose monitoring system called SugarBeAT.[1][2][3][4][5]

Overview

[edit]

The company was founded by Dr. Faz Chowdhury in 2013. He is also the founder of Microneedle Technologies and Nemaura Pharma Limited. It is headquartered in Loughborough, United Kingdom.[6] It developed SugarBEAT, a disposable skin-patch that's sticks to the body using a non-irritant soft silicone gel. The skin-patch connects to a rechargeable transmitter which detects blood sugar and transfers the data to a mobile app at a 5-minute interval. The lifespan of the transmitter is 2 years and the skin patch can be used for 24 hours.[7][8][9][4] The skin patch has an approximate thickness of 1mm. Electronic currents are used to draw interstitial fluid to the surface which analyses the glucose level.[10][11][12]

Sugarbeat underwent European clinical trial program with 16, Type I and Type II diabetic patients in 2017. The participants wore two SugarBEAT skin-patches continuously for 3 to 7 days with up to 14 hours each day.[7][13] The study yielded positive results.[7][1][14] The first model of SugarBEAT is wired to a smartwatch and received CE approval in February, 2016.[15]

Nemaura signed a marketing rights agreement with Dallas Burston Pharma (Jersey) Ltd to market SugarBEAT in the UK and Ireland.[16]

Nemaura is listed on NASDAQ since January 2018 as NMRD.[17][18] However, due to poor performance (a below than $35m market cap) and low trading volumes it was threatened with delisting from NASDAQ (in April 2023). [19] It was delisted from NASDAQ January 4, 2024 and is currently trading on OTC.[20]

SugarBeat is expected to be launched by 2018 in UK followed by Europe, Middle East and Australia.[17][4]
