Glucose Sensing

In the last decade concepts in fluorescence sensing have emerged as powerful techniques with an increasing number of applications in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine. The increasing importance of these techniques is typified in one emerging area by developing non-invasive and continuous approaches for physiological glucose monitoring.

Based on the Editors' own scientific patent Developed and patented an application for a range of highly-sensitive glucose sensing contact lenses that can monitor tear glucose levels (500 m), which track blood glucose levels which are 10-fold higher
