Innovative sensor for glucose monitoring

All posts

Together with experts from BVT Technologies, a.s. and scientists from the University of Mining and Metallurgy – Technical University of Ostrava, we are launching the KoDiaG R&D project focused on continuous monitoring and diagnostics of glucose metabolism in real time.

Current glucose sensors (CGM) measure with a delay of more than ten minutes and a correspondingly small bandwidth. The second option, taking blood and testing it on a glucose meter, is accurate and time-saving, but we only learn the value that corresponds to the time of collection.

The aim of the KoDiaG project is to achieve real-time glucose measurement – with a maximum delay of one minute – using biosensors linked to microdialysis.This will allow doctors and researchers to diagnose glucose metabolism more accurately and quickly. This technology may find applications in personalised medicine and for research purposes.

What do we do at EGMedical?

We are responsible for the complete development of the measurement and control system – the technological core of the new generation of biosensor equipment.

We’ll take care of:

  • design of a high-precision potentiostat for electrochemical measurements,
  • Development of control electronics for the microdialysis unit and low-noise analog architecture for the biosensor,
  • design of the power and communication infrastructure of the entire system.
  • embedded measurement control, calibration and real-time data logging.

Our work includes the development and production of prototypes for laboratory and clinical tests. The goal is to create a robust and clinically verifiable platform ready for future certification as a medical device.
