GlucoModicum determined that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) technology helps in applying a small amount of energy directly to the interstitial fluid to drive it to the skin surface for rapid and easy glucose sample extraction.

With the support of a contract development and manufacturing organisation, GlucoModicum focused on the development of a new device, Talisman, which will adhere to a patient’s arm.

The device combines MHD technology, advanced algorithms and ultra-sensitive biosensors while linking to a smartphone app for data collection and reporting.

GlucoModicum has not yet received either the US Food and Drug Administration or CE Mark approval for the Talisman device.
