Research

Vitasense has been rigorously validated, incorporating academic achievements, industry insights, customer trials, patent protection, and iterative prototype development. This approach ensures that Vitasense is a scientifically validated, user-focused solution ready to transform diabetes care.

Prototyping (V.1)

Vitasense, like any good product, underwent heavy prototyping to ensure market readiness. Pictured on the right is the creation and production of the V.1, the first prototype that gave VitaSense its wings. Customer trials with early prototypes, such as V.1, further validated the product. Users praised the ease of use and unnoticeable monitoring, emphasizing the device’s ability to integrate seamlessly into daily life while providing actionable health insights.

Testing The Technology

Vitasense started as just an idea founded on theoretical science, so as needed, we had to develop and carry out a procedure to validate that the science and technology behind it work to ensure our dreams of making diabetes management more manageable for all is possible.

Technology

Vitasense is based upon three core components that elevate it to never-before-seen heights, planting itself as the first ever wholly non-invasive continuous health monitoring device.

Photoplethysmography

At the heart of Vitasense's functionality lies photoplethysmography, a non-invasive method for measuring blood volume changes through light. The armband emits light through the skin using a light source and then detects the changes in light with a photodetector. This process captures optical signals arising from glucose interactions within the blood, enabling continuous and real-time monitoring without the need for invasive procedures.

Germanium Selenide (GeSe)

Vitasense employs GeSe, a black crystalline powder, as a semiconductor in its glucose monitoring armband. GeSe's unique properties, including an atomic-level thickness, tunable electronic structures, and high flexibility, make it an ideal sensing material for glucose detection. Its well-matched bandgap with the solar spectrum and high optical absorption are crucial features.

Semiconductor-Based Sensors

Vitasense incorporates semiconductor-based sensors to enhance the precision and sensitivity of glucose measurements. These sensors operate using diodes and temperature-sensitive voltage, facilitating the easy detection of changes and contributing to the accuracy of glucose level tracking. The integration of semiconductor technology ensures the reliability of the armband's glucose-monitoring capabilities.
