At CES® 2021 (Jan. 11-14, online), Quantum Operation Inc., a Tokyo-based
healthcare IoT startup, will present the world’s first noninvasive glucose monitor that is capable of
truly continuous measurement. The company’s patented spectrum sensing technology enables the
monitoring sensor to accurately measure glucose in a person’s bloodstream through the skin while
being worn around their wrist. This monitor eliminates the need – and pain – of daily needle uses for
diabetic patients. During CES, Quantum Operation will also showcase its oxygen saturation measuring
sensor (SpO2) that can be worn around the wrist.
The key to achieving this noninvasive 24/7 monitoring are Quantum Operation’s core technologies that
include the novel spectrometer materials – one of which is designed to emit an optimal spectrum, and
another that is highly responsive to target spectra – as well as the innovative firmware that efficiently
extract targeted data by canceling noise. These technologies can be used to measure all types of vital
signs, ranging from heart rate to electrocardiography (ECG).
“Until now, sticking a need into your finger or arm has been the only available method for accurately
measuring your glucose level. Our wristband will change that, making the painful daily routine
unnecessary for all diabetic patients,” said Quantum Operation CEO Kazuma Kato. “Our core
technologies also enable healthcare businesses to compile accurate big data and provide better
solutions for disease control and management. We are very excited to introduce these technologies at
CES 2021.”
