-Launched its sugarBEAT® app for Android devices in preparation for the planned commercial launch of sugarBEAT®

-Has entered in to multiple verbal non-binding agreements for sugarBEAT® with the aim of securing regional and global partnerships.

Dr. Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura Medical, commented, “This is a very exciting period for Nemaura Medical as it has steadily transitioned toward commercialization of its lead product, sugarBEAT®, initially in the UK and Germany. Our ability to simultaneously launch product in the U.S. under the wellbeing category also provides a significant commercial opportunity. We intend to take full advantage of this opportunity, given the sheer scale of the market in the U.S. As the world’s first non-invasive, needle-free CGM, sugarBEAT® is uniquely positioned to target the underserved $80 billion market for people with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as well as prediabetes. We remain highly encouraged by the outlook for the business and look forward to providing further updates as we execute on our commercial strategy.”
