Forward
People with diabetes have longed for a glucose monitor that is non-invasive, non-
intrusive, affordable and allows testing without pain. The pursuit and quest for a non-
invasive, pain-free but highly effective method of testing for blood glucose has been
ongoing for over three decades.
Traditional invasive techniques (lancet, draw blood, test strip, reading BG with a scanner)
achieves on average 85% against that of a biochemistry analyzer. But that accuracy
for invasive techniques varies and depends on many factors which can lower the
accuracy to an average of 80%:
•age of the paper test strip
•quality of the paper test strip
•cleanliness of the hands handling the paper
•time between blood sampling and insertion into the Glucose Meter
•time of day
•interval between activities
•length of time after eating
A Non-Invasive Option
The Elpis Genesis a non-invasive, 100% pain-free device that makes traditional blood
sampling a thing of the past.
Invasive techniques have been around for 36 years without too many improvements
with an accuracy of 85%. Achieving 88.4% accuracy with a non-invasive technique is a
leap forward in BGM and a viable replacement for the invasive BG testing method. The
comfort associated with non-invasive technique isn’t the only benefit. Elpis Genesis is
significantly cheaper over a multi-year basis with no cost required for consumables.
It has been verified that diabetes is a major cause of kidney failure, lower-limb
amputations, blindness, heart disease and stroke, and that it is the seventh leading
cause of death in the U.S.
To that end, the importance of being diligent about self-monitoring blood glucose
cannot be overemphasized, nor can anyone deny that the current state of self-
monitoring leaves something to be desired. The finger-prick, the blood and the coated
strips can be messy, complicated and painful –and these issues contribute to patient
non-compliance. Non-compliance increases the risk of all these health complications.
