ARTICLE SUMMARY:
BOYDSense is developing a hand-held device that can detect and analyze more than 20 different volatile organic compounds in a single breath, with applications in diabetes, metabolic wellness, and beyond.
Developing a noninvasive technology to safely and accurately measure glucose levels in the body is the holy grail for many in the diabetes device community. Although this has proven easier said than done, with many failed attempts over the years, innovators continue to pursue this goal. One approach that is attracting renewed interest involves extrapolating glucose levels from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be detected and measured in the breath. And one innovative start-up operating in this field, BOYDSense, hopes to lead the way.
