LOUGHBOROUGH, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) (“Nemaura” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on developing micro-systems-based wearable diagnostic devices and currently commercializing sugarBEAT®, its non-invasive and flexible continuous glucose monitor (“CGM”), together with BEAT™diabetes, a planned health subscription service designed to help people with Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes through personalized lifestyle coaching, today announced it has submitted its PMA application for sugarBEAT® to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the eCopy (electronic copy) program submission process.
Nemaura’s CEO, Dr. Faz Chowdhury, commented, “The USA represents the largest single market for sugarBEAT® and submission of the PMA application is a major milestone for the Company. Whilst the PMA application is under review for approval of sugarBEAT® as a Class III medical device, we plan to launch proBEAT™ in the USA later this year. proBEATTM will be introduced as a wellbeing device whereby we will be collecting glucose profiles and developing artificial intelligence-based prompts and feedback on how different factors affect glucose levels to help people make informed lifestyle choices”.
The intended use of sugarBEAT® is for persons with diabetes as an adjunct to finger prick testing to monitor and track their glucose profiles, so that the user can be better informed about the factors affecting their glucose profile, and to help manage their diabetes or potentially reverse their diabetes in the case of Type 2 diabetes. sugarBEAT is targeted initially at the Type 2 diabetic population, which number is greater than 25 million people in the U.S.
