New Hele sensor
Hello everyone,
Recently I have been advertising from a new bracelet, called Hela, which measures blood glucose through sweat.
Does anyone know anything about this?Is it something that works?
On the website they say that pre-reservations are admitted.I guess that means that it is not yet on sale.
The web is as follows: Helawear.com
I would like to know if it could be an alternative to freestyle
Thank you!!!
At the moment there is no device that measures glucose through sweat.
There are new sensors that have already been presented but all measure glucose in the interstitial fluid.
And then, have you seen the website I have posted?Is it a scam?

Obtaining blood glucose from sweat has been studied a lot, but always with uncertain results.
In this case, they sell the bracelet for 189 USD, they do not give many details (and especially without any scientific study), only two years of study and a maximum of 5050 units in the first "batch".
I wish it wrong, but this "smells" to Timo.
We will remain attentive to the evolution of the pulserite, well .....
Be very careful !!
Some create product websites and then disappear.
At the moment you have to continue with the products (sensors) that we know.
There are many unscrupulous people

Obviously.But I think when something like this happens is due to something unexpected.I do not think that the elaboration of a product as such, as well as its dedicated website with information developed at all.
For people who are dedicated to web development, it is 30 minutes, what takes longer is to do the product in physical, because now there are free 3D programs that make you virgueries that seem real.So care and eye to patch.

LinkI have a doubt about all this, that if the system will finally come out, it will be answered, but I leave it raised: if they are systems that measure glucose through sweat, if there is no sweat, how will it be measured?

Hello, no idea of this sensor.Of course the website is very cool and very modern, but, as others tell you, that does not prove anything.If you are looking for a little on Google, there seems to be a scientific basis for the correlation of glucose in sweat and blood: Link & AMP; Sourceid = Chrome & AMP; IE = UTF-8.But that does not mean that the device works, or that it does so equivalent to the acquaintances of interstitial subcutaneous blood glucose.Nor have I stopped to find out if these gentlemen present results of their clinical trials, as they should.In any case, I would recommend prudence and ask your diabetes endocrine, which is the one who knows (it is his specialty) and must guide you.
PS: As a curiosity, about 15 years ago an apparatus called Pendra, in the form of a bracelet that measured glucose without probe, for a radiation resonance or I don't know what.The device became implanted in the Danish health system.But after time, they realized that it marked badly and the dispersion of data in practice was much greater than in the clinics and ended up withdrawing it.History search in Google: Link
There is a correlation between sweat and glucose (just like there will be any liquid in the body), but the development of such a device must be quite complicated ..., the Sugarbeat sensor has been in development for years, and always with the promise to leaveto the market every year that passes, and still nothing ...
Link
So, for now, I would not deposit many hopes in that bracelet.

I have also found it in the English store.It looks good, apparently, this project.
I have also seen another company that probably draws a device based on glucose measurements through sweat this year too.
I wanted to say that the sensor came out and is already on sale.You can buy on your website: www.helawear.com/.
All the best.
It is still in development but it is already a reality here I explain more about the project
