Painless Microneedle Skin Patch Accurately Senses Glucose

Yet there's also a lot of potential to use microneedle patches to sense important biochemicals, glucose being probably the most important target. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden have developed a prototype glucose sensing patch that will hopefully be more accurate and less painful compared to current continuous glucose monitors.The device uses needles that are about 50 times smaller than those in commercially available continuous glucometers and the needle...
