Nemaura Announces Addition of New Predictive Alert Functionality to SugarBEAT®

April 16, 2019 – Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company focused on the development of SugarBEAT® as a non-invasive, affordable and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for use by diabetics and pre-diabetics, today announced that it has incorporated new predictive alert functionality into SugarBEAT®.

Alerts have been designed to provide visual indication when glucose levels are falling or rising above minimum and maximum thresholds. Additional audible alerts or physical vibration of the Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone connected to SugarBEAT® will occur in instances where glucose levels are deemed to fall to dangerously low levels, until switched off by the user. 

British Standards Institute (BSI), Nemaura’s designated European Notified Body, has accepted Nemaura’s proposed plan to incorporate these alerts into the current CE Mark application, and BSI is currently reviewing the supporting verification and quality related documentation.  

Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura, said, “While the non-invasive nature of SugarBEAT® opens up the CGM market to Type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics, the inclusion of these alerts will particularly appeal to Type 1 diabetics who are at higher risk of hypoglycemia, or very low glucose levels. Adding the alerts and alarms, based on predictive algorithms, as part of the current CE review process avoids the need for a subsequent CE application thus shortening the time that it would have otherwise taken to integrate these key features in the device.  Even with these additions, we remain on track for CE Mark approval followed by our commercial launch later this year.”

Upon receiving CE Mark approval, Nemaura’s plan is to initially launch SugarBEAT® in the United Kingdom, where the addressable market for CGM is valued at over $1.3 billion. The overall global addressable market for CGM is estimated at $82 billion per year, and the U.S. market alone is estimated at $13 billion1.  Given that SugarBEAT® is  non-invasive, coupled with its affordability and flexibility, the Company expects to become a dominant player in this market.
