A noninvasive patch or wristband monitors blood sugar levels for up to 30 days through a sensor system and smartphone app. The app allows diabetics to monitor levels and get alerts if levels become dangerous. This helps diabetics avoid health risks from uncontrolled blood sugar and ensures rapid treatment if they lose consciousness. The company is seeking investors and partners to develop this product.
2. 1 in 3 Americans will
have diabetes by 2050.
Over 9.3% of the U.S. population has been diagnosed with diabetes, and the
growth trends don’t look good. In fact by 2050 the CDC now estimates that
nearly 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed with diabetes in their lifetime. With
over 29 million Americans fighting this disease daily, and with no cures in
sight, diabetes is taking more lives than ever. Even with new advances in
medical and diagnostic technology, diabetes remains the 7th leading cause
of death in the United States.

Kidney Disease Stroke & Fainting
High Blood Pressure
4. The Problem
Diabetics are at abnormally high risks for fainting due to blood sugar levels
being either too low (hypoglycemia), or too high (hyperglycemia). Once
blood sugar levels get out of control, diabetic patients can quickly slip into
what’s known as a comatose state.
If a diabetic faints, they are at serious risk of fatal conditions. That’s why it is
vital that diabetics receive treatment immediately.
5. Our Solution
Introducing Smartlert™
Our technology starts with a simple, flexible, breathable, noninvasive water-
proof patch or wristband that is applied directly on the skin of a diabetic. This
patch or wristband is applied on the body and lasts for up to 30 days. While
active, the patch or wristband monitors the user through innovative sensor
system technology (including dielectric spectroscopy and other
technologies) and is capable of detecting blood sugar/glucose levels real-
time.
Through a smartphone application the user will not only be able to check
their status throughout the day… but more importantly, if anything were to
go wrong rendering the diabetic user unconscious. The smartphone
application would automatically notify and alert emergency contacts as
programmed by the user through the smartphone application.
Empowering the User with Real-Time Nonintrusive Blood
Sugar Information and An Emergency Response System.
