Real-time Monitoring for Chronic Disease Management
Metyos is developing a wearable patch that can provide real-time measurements of biomarkers to help prevent and manage chronic diseases. The device functions similar to a continuous glucose monitor, but it can measure multiple molecules and biomarkers relevant to various diseases. The device uses micronidols on the bottom of the patch to sense interstitial fluid and sends the data via Bluetooth to a smartphone and cloud platform for real-time access by patients and doctors. Continuous monitoring is particularly crucial for chronic diseases like kidney disease, as it allows for early detection of critical points and avoids delays in blood testing and results. The device aims to improve patient comfort while providing accurate and convenient monitoring.
