Alertgy is working for you...
We are revolutionizing the way you will manage your Type 2 diabetes, applying leading edge sensor and materials technologies to detect blood sugar levels and present them to you through Alertgy NICGM.
What is Alertgy NICGM?
The Alertgy NICGM is a band that you wear around your wrist that works with an app on your smartphone to measure your blood sugar.
Alertgy NICM currently is being developed to enable you to get a blood sugar reading on demand, see how your blood sugar levels change over time, and allow you to set alerts to notify you, loved ones, or others if your blood sugar level goes too low or too high.
The band will be waterproof, hypo-allergenic, and is worn 24 hours a day.
How is it different from how I currently measure my blood sugar?
- Our plan is to make a device that is lancet free and pain-free
– You will no longer have to draw any blood to measure your blood sugar. - Giving loved ones a peace of mind
– Alerts you or a loved one if blood sugar drops too low or goes too high. Can send alerts to your healthcare provider.
- Cost-effective
– No supplies and strips to pay for, just the device. - Enabling health
– Allows you to track how you are doing with your blood sugar.
– You are able to better understand your patterns and use that information to better control your blood sugar. You can share this data with your healthcare provider.
When will it be available?
Our goal is to have the device available for purchase no later than 2023.
The technology works and we are currently building a prototype. The Alertgy team will be refining this prototype over the next two years, with the input of diabetics like you, to make sure that it meets your needs. We will also make sure that it meets the requirements of the FDA. Our goal is for the device to provide better readings then is currently possible using test strips and glucometers on the market.
How much will it cost?
Our promise to you is that we will make the device as inexpensive as possible.
