AiMedics report Clinical Trial Results
AiMedics recently completed a successful phase 2b study on its non-invasive
hypoglycaemia detection device, the HypoMon®. This relatively large
study enrolled 52 Type 1 Diabetic sufferers over 3 months in a controlled
overnight comparative study. The results suggest that HypoMon’s
non-invasive technology has excellent market potential in that it matches
the hypoglycaemia alarm performance of the best of the continuous monitoring
devices in this field.

LIFE-SAVING DIABETES INVENTION FAST-TRACKED BY GOVERNMENT
Sydney-based AiMedics has won a major Federal Government grant to fast-track
the development of a unique non-invasive device that alerts insulin-dependent
diabetics of life-threatening hypoglycaemia (low blood-sugar levels).
AiMedics Chairman, Martin Greenberg, said today that
the Federal Department of Industry had granted the company up to $2.755
Million to accelerate the commercial development of its HypoMon® product
to assist the growing number of insulin-dependent diabetics in Australia
and around the world.
Hypoglycaemia can lead to coma, seizures or death, unless
it is detected early enough and counteracted with a ‘sugar’-based
product such as orange juice or intravenous glucose.
AiMedics CEO, Victor Skladnev, said the Commonwealth
funding would complement the significant investment in HypoMon® already
committed by GBS Venture Partners.
“We are very pleased with the ‘commercial-ready’ grant
which will help us to get our valuable and potentially life-saving device
on the market and available to those suffering from insulin-dependent
diabetes,” Mr Skladnev said.
Australian Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, said HypoMon®
was a great example of how Australian innovation is helping to deliver
real health benefits to people with chronic illnesses.
"Diabetes is one of Australia's fastest growing
chronic diseases and improving the detection of low blood sugar levels
will greatly enhance the health outcome of patients," Mr Macfarlane
said.
"The Australian government's Commercial Ready grant
will ensure the potentially life-saving device is commercialised and in
the hands of those who need it as soon as possible."
