   We developed a new technology to help kids, and parents too!, manage and control Type I Diabetes while promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent Type II.

    A nanosensor implanted in a tooth and wirelessly connected to a portable electronic system provides information of all food entering the mouth. The software analyzes the information and provides continuous feedback. Sugar values are closely monitored (could be adapted for fats, minerals, and/or vitamins), if the values are approaching high or low predetermined limits, the e-system will provide options in the screen for a healthier food item.

    At the end of the day, if sugar values stayed within the limits, e-games will free up.

Our e-system works as a powerful tool for CONTROL, PREVENTION, and GUIDANCE.
