Paris, July 26, 2022 – The French startup PKvitality, focusing on health and sport biowearables, is developing K’Watch Glucose, the first Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in the form of a smartwatch, designed to change the daily lives of millions of diabetic patients. After two first phases of testing which brought a significant step forward on the initial roadmap, the company champion of innovation against diabetes announces the results of its third phase of clinical trials on humans (First-in-human).
PKvitality’s mission is to enable everyone to contribute actively to their well-being and health through products that are simple and comfortable to use. Thus, its K’Watch Glucose smartwatch will be the world’s first CGM device that will track glucose levels discreetly and continuously at the wrist. This system, currently at the stage of clinical studies, will measure the level of glucose in the interstitial fluid through micro-tips. It will thus offer a painless and non-stigmatizing experience to the user.
