Wristband tracks before & after-meal glucose level changes

Quantum Operation to Showcase Noninvasive Glucometer Wristband for Continuous Monitoring at CES Unveiled and CES 2022 Monitoring sensor is capable of recording pre- & post-meal glucose level changes. LAS VEGAS (Dec. 28, 2021) — At CES® Unveiled (Jan. 3), CES 2022 (Jan. 5-8) and Showstoppers (Jan. 5), Quantum Operation Inc., a Tokyo-based healthcare IoT startup, will present the world’s first noninvasive glucometer in the form of a wristband that is capable of nonstop monitoring. The device, which uses the company’s patented spectrum sensing technology to accurately measure glucose in a person’s bloodstream through the skin, eliminates the need — and pain — of daily needle use for diabetic patients. The company is also adding a new function to the device to monitor changes in pre- and post-meal blood glucose levels — an important indicator for diabetic patients to keep track of to prevent progression of the disease. Quantum Operation’s technology won a CES 2022 Innovation Award in the “Health & Wellness” category. “Although checking one’s blood glucose level both before and after a meal is important, that adds to patients’ …

Wearable 24/7 glucose monitor (nonstop, needleless) at CES 2021

Quantum Operation’s CES Exhibit to Showcase the World’s First Glucose Measuring Wristband that Enables Truly Nonstop Monitoring Health tech startup will also present a nonstop oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring wristband. TOKYO (Jan. 10, 2021) At CES 2021 (Jan. 11-14, online), Quantum Operation Inc., a Tokyo-based healthcare IoT startup, will present the world’s first noninvasive glucose monitor that is capable of truly continuous measurement. The company’s patented spectrum sensing technology enables the monitoring sensor to accurately measure glucose in a person’s bloodstream through the skin while being worn around their wrist. This monitor eliminates the need and pain of daily needle uses for diabetic patients. During CES, Quantum Operation will also showcase its oxygen saturation measuring sensor (SpO2) that can be worn around the wrist. The key to achieving this noninvasive 24/7 monitoring are Quantum Operation’s core technologies that include the novel spectrometer materials one of which is designed to emit an optimal spectrum, and another that is highly responsive to target spectra as well as the innovative firmware that efficiently extract targeted data by canceling noise. These technologies can be …

How did the representative start the company?

(1) My experience in my hometown, Yubari City, Hokkaido, was the trigger.

In 2007, Yubari City’s finances collapsed.
My father retired from Yubari City Hall under the early retirement program. I started my business in Yubari City in 2016 with a U-turn. That’s where I felt the collapse of healthcare.
The maximum number of beds at the hospital in Yubari was 171, but with the financial collapse, the number of beds was reduced to 19.
It’s a 40-minute drive to the next town, and acute patients will not be able to make it in time.
This was the reality.
Then I thought, why not use the IoT to prevent people from getting sick or becoming seriously ill? I was convinced that making this happen would save the world in the future.

(2) My experience with congenital renal artery stenosis.

When I was in junior high school, my blood pressure was found to be abnormal with my highest blood pressure over 180 and lowest blood pressure over 100.
Initially, the cause was unknown and my arm was tightened every day with cuff blood pressure morning, noon and night.
It was a very painful experience, both physically and mentally, as it affected my life.
In addition to the pain in my arm when the cuff is tightened, I asked myself that was I eating poorly? Is it a genetic abnormality? And it was really painful to see faces of my parents as they apologised to me.
If we could at least make the measurements easier, it would alleviate the physical and mental strain! If blood pressure had been controlled by constant measurement, the range of action would have been increased. This was the event where I felt that constant blood pressure control in people with high blood pressure could save lives.
