Curated by SignalHypoglycemia Symptoms Alarm
Overview
Medpage develops Hypoglycemia Symptoms Alarm (known as the HSA-01), a device worn on the wrist that sounds an audible alarm and vibrates to wake those people with insulin-dependent diabetes who suffer from nocturnal hypoglycemia. The sensors, when in contact with the skin of the wrist or ankle respond to perspiration and body temperature (cold sweats), two common symptoms of low blood sugar. If a cold sweat is detected, a built in vibrator operates along with a tone beeper alarm.
