WILMINGTON, Del. and ASHDOD, Israel, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrity Applications, Inc. (OTCQB: IGAP), innovator of GlucoTrack®, a non-invasive device for measuring glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes, presents Data Demonstrating that the performance of GlucoTrack is comparable among patients with prediabetes, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and long duration of type 2 diabetes, at the 53^rd EASD Annual Meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.

The study evaluated the performance of GlucoTrack, a non-invasive glucose monitoring device, in all diabetes populations: patients with prediabetes (N=7), newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes (diabetes duration ≤ 5 years; N=9) and individuals with a long-duration of type 2 diabetes (diabetes duration >5 years; N=16). All participants underwent a calibration day and a trial day that included a pre-prandial measurement and a standardized breakfast followed by six additional measurements over 30-minute intervals. In all groups, 100% of the measurements were in the clinically acceptable A and B zones of the Consensus error grid, with more than 92.5% in the clinically accurate zone A. Mean and median absolute relative difference (ARD) values ranged from 15.6% to 18.3% and from 12.7% to 13.9%, respectively.

"The finding of comparable clinical and numerical accuracies across all groups indicates that the device is suitable for people with long and short durations of type 2 diabetes as well as for people with prediabetes, signifying that many patients worldwide may benefit from GlucoTrack," says Dr. Tamar Lin, Lead Research Scientist at Integrity Applications. Non-invasive glucose monitoring devices for home use aim to overcome the barriers of current invasive glucose monitoring methods by offering a simple, painless and convenient means to measure glucose levels. "GlucoTrack holds the potential to promote frequent glucose self-monitoring and thus improve glycemic control. This may in turn reduce diabetes-related complications and in certain cases even prevent the development of diabetes in individuals with prediabetes," said Eugene Naidis, VP R&D at Integrity Applications.

About GlucoTrack®

GlucoTrack® is a truly non-invasive monitoring device that rapidly measures and displays an individual's glucose level in about a minute without finger pricking or any pain.
GlucoTrack® features a small sensor that clips to the earlobe and measures the user's glucose level using innovative and patented sensor technologies. The measured signals are analyzed using a proprietary algorithm and then a calculated glucose level is displayed on a small handheld device the size of a small mobile phone. The glucose results are stored in the device and used to estimate HbA1c level using a proprietary algorithm. The device can also display glucose values graphically, enabling the user to monitor glucose levels over time.
GlucoTrack® has received CE Mark and KFDA approvals for type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetics, and is currently in the early stages of commercialization in Europe, South Korea, and other geographies.
GlucoTrack® is expected to begin clinical trials for United States FDA approval. The product is currently experimental in the United States and is limited to investigational use only.
