Wearable Microneedle Patch Enables Continuous Glucose Monitoring via Ultrasound

Source Summary

A wearable microneedle patch technology has been developed to enable continuous glucose monitoring using conventional ultrasound. The innovation addresses limitations of traditional fingertip blood sampling, which is painful and inconvenient, and overcomes drawbacks of enzyme-based continuous glucose monitoring systems that require frequent replacement, incur higher costs, and need strict storage conditions.
