Tags: Australian National University, Australia, Healthcare & Lifesciences
ANU has developed a non-invasive sensor for detecting acetone levels, key for diagnosing Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) without blood pricks. This sensor, usable in breath-based or wearable devices, offers a leap in patient care for diabetes management. It aligns closely with needs in continuous monitoring for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and ketone tracking for weight loss. Its integration with smart devices could revolutionize diabetic care by facilitating easy, frequent monitoring.
