sugarBEAT® App is now available on Play Store with iOS app planned to follow, ahead of the planned BEAT®diabetes subscription service launch
Loughborough, England, March 3, 2020 — 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, launched its sugarBEAT® App for Android devices on the Play Store in preparation for the planned launch of the Company’s BEAT®diabetes subscription based service expected for next month.1
“We believe that the launch of our app is a big step towards our commercial milestones, and we are looking forward to launching the BEAT®diabetes subscription service shortly during Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week in the UK. This is a very exciting time in our company’s development” stated Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura.
“The sugarBEAT® app includes time-in-range profiling features which we believe is rapidly being adopted as the primary metric for managing individual daily blood glucose profiles”.
BEAT®diabetes is a subscription based service which, we believe, over time will provide both people with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes with a number of affordable and empowering tools to better manage, prevent and potentially even reverse their condition.
The first phase of the commercial launch of sugarBEAT® began in the UK after the Company received CE Mark approval in 2019. In this initial phase, devices were supplied to a limited cohort of users while the Company focused on scaling up its manufacturing operations. The UK licensee of sugarBEAT®, DB Ethitronix, is currently in the process finalizing the launch of online sales of sugarBEAT®.
The Company is currently planning a user study comparing sugarBEAT® directly against a highly successful major incumbent CGM sensor with the goal of positioning sugarBEAT® as a non-invasive, daily/flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional, expensive and invasive CGM.
The global total addressable market for CGM is estimated at $82 billion per annum, consisting of $12.7 billion for Type 1 insulin users (5% of diabetes), $38.0 billion for Type 2 insulin users (15% of diabetes) and $31.4 billion for Type 2 non-insulin users (80% of diabetes). These numbers exclude the prediabetes population which is estimated at nearly three times as large as the diabetes population.2
