while solving the adhesive issues
sometimes associated with sensor
wearing, either through skin
irritation or because can sensors
fall off. Its First-In-Human clinical
trials were completed with positive
outcomes! Great user experience
means no adverse events, no pain,
no irritation to patients and a
very tolerance.
K'Watch Glucose will be the
first Continuous Glucose Monitor
in the form of a smartwatch. It is
composed of two parts: K'Watch,
the smartwatch and K'apsul, an
adhesive patch at the back. It will
enable a continuous monitoring of
systemic glucose levels anytime and
anywhere. This is possible thanks
to SkinTaste®, a patented biosensor
array that uses micropoints in order
to analyze chemical compositions of
interstitial body fluid. Using the same
technology, PKvitality is also working
on K'Watch Athlete, a smartwatch
that will provide real-time tracking
of their lactic acid - an indicator
of muscle fatigue - to significantly
improve an athlete's training and
performance.
