Blood Glucose Sensor

Blood sugar level readings are important for those who have to monitor them. For the medical device company, manufacturability and cost must also be balanced with functionality. Nuvation Engineering designed this ultra-low power blood glucose sensor that has a long battery life, data logging functionality, and a cost-optimized PCB design. Nuvation Engineering was selected for this project because of our extensive experience delivering designs to Tier 1 medical device manufacturers, design-for manufacture and design-for-certification.
