GlucoModicum 's Not - - invasive glucose monitoring technology Performance 13x better than previous needle - - free approaches - Data published in Scientific Reports, part of the Nature Portfolio Journals, paves the way for groundbreaking wearable solutions for monitoring diabetes - Helsinki, Finland , April 20, 2021 - GlucoModicum, an innovator in needle-free health and biomarker monitoring solutions, announces that research data on its proprietary magnetohydrodynamics ("MHD") technology to measure glucose levels in the skin without needles has been published in Scientific Reports, Part 1 of the Nature Research portfolio, the world's leading multidisciplinary scientific journals. These peer-reviewed results show that GlucoModicum's novel approach to dermal interstitial fluid collection was 13 times faster and more effective than its predecessor, reverse iontophoresis. Blood glucose testing is critical to the diagnosis and treatment of diab

YOUR HEALTH: Monitoring your health anytime, anywhere

Image
STATE COLLEGE, PA. Scientists are developing a tiny, wearable device that can measure human sweat and provide feedback on a range of chronic conditions. This could make monitoring glucose much easier for diabetics. Penn State's team of bioengineers has developed a small, portable device that can be used to monitor health non-invasively. It's a waterproof patch with embedded sensors. Bioengineers designed it to adhere to and conform to the skin, during daily activities and during exercise. "This will allow us to capture all the important information related to heart rate, breathing and sweat a

Effective dust and noise monitoring essential to worker safety

Image
Mining sites pose higher health and safety risks in the workplace compared to many other work environments, and these risks include dangerous dust and noise pollution. One of the most common reasons for concern is inhalation of dust in a mine. Coal dust is particularly dangerous because prolonged inhalation causes coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known colloquially as miner's lung or black lung. Research shows that one in four miners has abnormal lung function, CWP, or both1. Similarly, inhaled fumed silica - particularly respirable crystalline silica (RCS) - causes an estimated 230 cases of lung cancer in Australian workers each year. RCS is made through typical mining applications such as crushing, drilling, cutting or grinding rocks or soils that contain the predominant silica mineral. Likewise, the noise caused by the constant use of heavy machinery and drilling can damage the hearing of miners. Often times, this damage goes unnoticed until it&#
