Led by CEO and founder Danaë Delbeke, Indigo Diabetes is developing a novel ‘invisible’ continuous glucose monitoring device for diabetics. The company has developed a small chip using nanophotonics that is designed to measure glucose and ketones in people with diabetes. The product is ‘invisible’ as it is inserted subcutaneously in the patient’s skin and cannot be seen. It has the potential to continuously monitor glucose levels for up to two years enabling both the patient and their healthcare provider to speedily and accurately detect any life-threatening situations.
