Over the past generation, the number of people living with diabetes has quadrupled, necessitating a daily routine filled with finger pricking to test blood glucose levels. Founded in 2015, DiaMonTech pioneered a groundbreaking technology for helping people manage their blood glucose levels without finger pricking, needles and test strips. The company’s patented pain-free laser-based detection is as easy to use as the fingerprint sensor on a smartphone. An industry first, DiaMonTech monitors the actual glucose molecules in skin, providing users with a more comprehensive and accurate reading comparable to traditional blood glucose monitors.
With a full engineering team on staff, Unorthodox Ventures helps partner companies file for patents and prepare for full-scale manufacturing. We also offer assistance with entering the American market and helped DiaMonTech as it prepared to open its first office here.
