‘Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. Clinical data support the recommendation that frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels is an important component of effective diabetes management which leads to reduction of risks of diabetes complications and HbA1c levels however, poor glucose monitoring compliance among people with type 2 diabetes is still of high prevalence. The invasiveness of the procedure is considered one of the major barriers.
Integrity applications have evolved from a spark of innovation of its founder, David Fragger, who had diabetes himself and was looking to overcome the hurdle of the invasiveness process and costs associated with monitoring his disease. Since the establishment of the company, its mission was to develop and democratize non-invasive glucose monitoring devices for home-use that are easy to use, convenient, and increase monitoring compliance by people with diabetes.
Years of clinical research and development have gathered into a unique combination of advanced algorithms and multiple non-invasive sensing technologies embedded in the only true non-invasive glucose monitoring device available in the market.’
