Executive Summary

Leveraging design, innovation, and the latest technology to disrupt traditional monitoring models, Opuz is developing a truly non-invasive blood glucose monitor that is easy to use and affordable. The company’s vision is to enable easy self-monitoring of vital health metrics, and its first metric of focus is blood glucose.

Opuz’s approach is to couple novel sensor technology (bioimpedance) with cloud-based AI to comfortably and continuously monitor blood sugar levels.

The Opuz ring requires no action from the user and negates the need for needles, sticky skin patches, and finger pricks.  The company is poised to disrupt a global $13B market and launch the product in 2022.
