Deep-Gluco™ Alertgy CGM - 2022 Recap on Accomplishments
What We've Achieved Over 4 Years - Noninvasive Blood Glucose Monitoring
Alertgy has developed several generations of functional wearable noninvasive dielectric spectrometers and has demonstrated in several clinical trials to be capable of measuring blood glucose continuously for diabetics and borderline diabetics.
