Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB) has announced plans to initiate a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) market study in India, furthering its intended collaboration with Bayer. This study aims to gather feedback from diabetes patients and healthcare professionals to refine the design of Trinity Biotech's next-generation CGM solution for the Indian market. The company has entered a non-binding Letter of Intent with Bayer for launching a CGM device in China and India.
India, with over 100 million people living with diabetes, presents a significant market opportunity. Trinity Biotech aims to increase access to CGM technology across India by offering a low-cost care solution. The company's next-generation CGM features an innovative modular design that enhances user experience while reducing cost and waste.
Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB) has provided an update on its continuous glucose monitor (CGM) technology development. The company was granted a European patent (EP3703565) for a novel method enhancing indwelling sensor performance, particularly for glucose biosensors. Recent testing confirmed the effectiveness of this patented process in improving their glucose biosensor performance.
The innovative 'conditioning' process, housed within Trinity Biotech's reusable transmitter unit, significantly reduces the CGM's initial 'run-in' time, enabling quicker reliable measurements. It also improves the device's accuracy relative to laboratory reference methods and enhances the Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD). This advancement aims to create a more user-friendly, fully self-calibrating device, addressing the current need for periodic re-calibration using separate finger-stick blood glucose monitors.
