Overview
Description
Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for individuals with glucose‑related conditions such as diabetes. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a wearable medical device that provides near real-time data to user interfaces, devices (such as smartphones), and/or insulin therapy devices, including insulin pumps. This capability helps individuals maintain optimal glucose levels and reduce the risk of health complications.
This CGM system is designed to work with an insulin pump and a connected smart device to deliver closed-loop therapy. The platform offers robust health information security in a compact, low-power design, with compliant modules and solutions that help shorten time to market for medical device development.
System Benefits:
- Modular design with detachable sensor mechanics and electronics:
- A user only needs to replace the sensor electrodes (mechanics) and keep the electronics, rather than disposing of the whole assembly.
- Enhanced longevity and cost-effectiveness.
- Rechargeable battery and complete sealing for longer electronic life using NFC wireless charging (WLC).
- Closed-loop combination functions with an insulin pump for a scalable insulin therapy system design:
- High precision using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.
- Secure Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connectivity with NFC communication and pushbutton.
- NFC system features the lowest BOM count and direct antenna connection, ensuring a small footprint design.
- Convenient visualization on various devices using Bluetooth LE 5 provides improved stability, security, profiles, and energy efficiency.
- MCU has Radio Law (Japan), FCC/ISED (North America), and CE (Europe) certifications for RF compliance, which shortens time to market.
