Impact (points for diabetics)

2019: Announcement

At the beginning of December, 2019 points which can trace sugar level in blood on plaintive liquid were released.

Usually at diabetics use glucose meters to monitoring of sugar of blood, however permanent use of skarifikator is painful and can lead to an infection. To solve this problem, the team of researchers from the University of São Paulo jointly the American scientists developed the Impact glasses equipped with the biosensor.

Points which can trace sugar level in blood on plaintive liquid were released

In fact, the device works in precisely the same way, as well as the normal glucose meter, but instead of blood for determination of level of glucose Impact glasses use tears. When developing the biosensor researchers used the immobilized glucose oxydas, enzyme which allows to detect glucose in any liquid environments of an organism.

Glucose oxydas is applied on the electrode connected to a direct current circuit. The device is located on a nasal part of points where adjoins to plaintive liquid and can register change of a flow of electrons. The signal generated by the biosensor at first arrives on the processing device installed on the bracket/handle of points and then is transferred to the computer or the smartphone. Then the special application displays the value reflecting concentration of glucose in blood.

Besides, the device can be also configured for determination of level of vitamins and alcohol in blood. According to researchers, "concentration of different metabolites in tears definitely correspond to their concentration in blood thanks to what plaintive liquid becomes the attractive environment for noninvasive monitoring of physiological parameters". According to developers, biotouch Impact glasses can revolutionize monitoring of level of glucose in blood and help hundreds of millions of patients with diabetes around the world.^[1]
