Diabetes is a disease that a patient cannot well control glucose (blood sugar) in the blood and is called “source of all diseases” as it can cause various complications such as cerebral infarction, dementia, neuropathy, etc.

​

To treat diabetes, it is essential to measure blood glucose level accurately.  However, in a conventional way, a patient needs to finger prick to take a blood sample multiple times a day; that involves a physical pain, mental stress and infection risk.

​

Light Touch Technology (LTT) has developed the world's first blood sampling-free (non-invasive) blood glucose sensor using advanced laser technology; as one of the first ventures of the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology.

​

We aspire to commercialize this advanced technology as a home medical device and a wearable device by miniaturizing the sensor significantly with the support of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
