Non-invasive device to assess cardiovascular and diabetes risk

Overview

Diagnoptics develops non-invasive diagnostic devices that allow diagnosis and assessment of the risk of diabetes and its associated complications. The company's proprietary CE marked product "AGE Reader" allows detection of fluorescence of accumulated Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) in 12 seconds. The reader's light source illuminates the skin of the forearm and this incident light allows excitation of fluorescent molecules in the tissues that emit light of a different wavelength which is detected using a spectrometer. The major contribution in fluorescence comes from collagen linked AGEs. Another product "Diab-spot", allows AGE measurement and combines it with few patient's characteristics to calculate the diabetes risk. The patient answers these questions related to other well-known diabetes risk factors using a touch screen. Diagnoptics offers a non-invasive and immediate assessment of cardiovascular risk and risk of diabetes with the AGE Reader.
