- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $799,752 on July 1, 2026, to conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring relative to traditional finger-stick self-monitoring of blood glucose in non-insulin-treated adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The study randomizes approximately 240 participants (≥8% of whom identify as African American) in a...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Micromedics Inc. $304,926 on July 1, 2026, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to design and develop the mPancreas, a wearable biomimetically designed microfluidic bioartificial pancreas device. The research focuses on creating a compact implanted device that recreates the small-scale biological environment required for insulin-producing cells to survive and function outside the body. The device uses thin...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded the University of Houston $784,276 on July 1, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to evaluate the impact of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) on prediabetes management in Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) populations through a five-year project concluding June 30, 2031. The research, titled SMART Prediabetes (Supporting Monitoring and Remote Tracking...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded Integrated Medical Sensors Inc. a $922,875 Project Grant on August 25, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to develop a miniaturized and flexible continuous glucose monitoring platform using scalable semiconductor manufacturing. Integrated Medical Sensors is designing an optimized continuous glucose monitoring system called GlucoSoft that expands the use of flexible electronics to create a first-in-class flexible band-aid transmitter. The work builds on the recipient's prior demonstration of a miniaturized electrochemical analyte sensing platform using application-specific integrated circuit technology based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. The system achieves extreme miniaturization, improved signal-to-noise ratio, multi-sensor redundancy for enhanced accuracy, and on-chip temperature calibration. Manufacturing methods increase lot sizes by over 1000 times compared to current continuous glucose monitoring systems, simplify factory calibration, and reduce costs. The transmitter is 5 times smaller and 50 percent lighter than comparable commercial systems. Human feasibility studies have demonstrated function and multi-day sensor operation; a 15-day operational study is accepted for presentation at the American Diabetes Association 2025 conference. Performance takes place in Irvine, California, with a period of performance ending July 31, 2028. Integrated Medical Sensors is a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business.
