Incredible<\/span> 100 ideas were <\/span>submitted<\/span> to the DCB Open Innovation Challenge this year. Six finalists from the U.S., the U.K., Switzerland, Spain, and Sweden, pitched their innovations live on stage at <\/span>Kursaal<\/span> Bern in front of a big audience and an international jury. <\/span>This year’s winner, IMS, impressed the jury with a revolutionary, particularly small, and minimally invasive device for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The world’s first fully integrated single-chip device monitors blood glucose using multiple sensors simultaneously and can also record other physiological parameters such as tissue temperature. It is also able to measure various physiological parameters such as glucose and ketones \u2013 all with just one device.<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
