Non-invasive methods
This focus aims to make diabetes management or diagnosis less burdensome or invasive.
Under this focus, start-ups are supported and different non-invasive methods are evaluated that should/could be used for diabetes management. The focus is, for example, on the usability of wearables, or worn devices that are already on the market. The measurement parameters of the much-worn devices will be tested for their usability in the diagnosis of pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Another example is compounds on the skin or in the breath, which are also measured as markers for diabetes, or even hypoglycaemia. Here, several partners are supported who have developed highly specific sensors and are now being tested for their applicability.
