Developing New Technologies to Monitor Diabetes
Company Overview
Nemaura Medical is developing non-invasive and minimally invasive wearable diagnostic devices, coupled with artificial intelligence capabilities for digital healthcare. The company’s first product, which is CE approved and undergoing commercial launch, is the sugarBEAT® non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring device and BEAT®diabetes digital healthcare platform. sugarBEAT® is a non-invasive and flexible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) providing actionable insights derived from real-time glucose measurements and daily glucose trend data, which help people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes respectively to better manage, reverse and prevent the onset of diabetes. BEAT®diabetes is a health subscription service providing 1-on-1 lifestyle coaching and behavior change recommendations driven by personalized data provided by sugarBEAT®. Insulin users can also adjunctively use sugarBEAT® for insulin dosage purposes when calibrated by a finger stick reading. sugarBEAT® is intended to be worn during waking hours and consists of a daily disposable adhesive skin-patch connected to a rechargeable transmitter, with an app displaying glucose readings at five-minute intervals.
The global total addressable market for CGM is estimated at $150 billion per annum. Healthcare costs for persons with type 2 diabetes costs approx. 2.5x as much as a person without diabetes. Employers and healthcare insurers are therefore resorting to programs that will provide long-term sustainable results in stemming the onset of diabetes and, where possible, reversing type 2 diabetes. Nemaura’s solution, which has both a cost and user-friendliness advantage, addresses this increasing demand. CGMs currently have low adoption rates amongst insulin users (negligible use amongst non-insulin users) but is growing rapidly. The U.S. is the largest market with estimated 2.6% (630,000 users) penetration of diagnosed diabetic market (34.2M), representing annual growth of 117% over 2017 (290,000 users). Given sugarBEAT® is non-invasive, affordable and flexible, it is expected to have wider appeal to non-insulin using diabetics, prediabetics and a section of insulin users who dislike competitor CGMs (Abbott, Dexcom and Senseonics) due to their invasiveness, higher cost and inflexibility.
Investment Highlights
sugarBEAT® commercially launched in UK; near-term European launch
CE approved in May 2019; manufacturer scale-up and commercial sales of sugarBEAT® in Germany and the UK underway
200K sensors ordered by licensee following soft launch success
PO forecast for approx. 100K sensors monthly over next two years
FDA application submitted
Disrupting the multi-billion-dollar glucose trending and diabetes management space
sugarBEAT® is a flexible CGM which can be worn for a single day at a time, with no commitment to wear the device continuously for 10 -14 days as is the case with other CGMs, making it unlikely that the daily cost-of-use can be matched by competitors
sugarBEAT® empowers glucose trend data over the course of the day, with measurements recorded every 5 minutes; replaces multiple daily point-in-time finger-stick measurements
Attractive economics
Lowest COGS per CGM patch in the industry
Recurring high-margin revenue model
Upcoming R&D pipeline
Launching continuous lactate monitoring (CLM) near term; $60B+ market
Four additional products in development using BEAT platform, including non-invasive alcohol monitoring (CAM)
Proven and experienced management team
Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO - Sole inventor on 50+ granted and pending patents across 15+tech platforms within the medical device and pharma sectors
