Nemaura Medical Granted UK Trademark “Meta Score,” a Digital Biomarker Term for its Metabolic Health Program
July 21 2022 - 8:00AM
Nemaura Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRD) (“Nemaura” or the “Company”),
a medical technology company focused on developing and
commercializing a daily disposable, wearable glucose sensor and
supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, today
announced that it has been granted a UK trademark for “Meta Score,”
a term the Company plans to use as a digital biomarker for its
consumer metabolic health program. Trademark applications are now
pending in several other major global territories.
Meta Score will be the metric and digital
biomarker the Company will use as part of its consumer programs.
This digital biomarker will derive output from Nemaura’s glucose
sensor in combination with a number of behavioral inputs of users.
These consumer programs target the pre-diabetes and obesity
markets, with over 87 million people in the U.S. alone with
pre-diabetes.
“We believe that owning the description of
measurement for the biomarker utilized in the Miboko program is an
important differentiation among all of the various metabolic health
programs currently available,” commented Nemaura CEO Faz Chowdhury,
Ph.D. “While there are many medical measurements that doctors rely
on to understand a person’s metabolic health, by creating and
branding a simple-to-describe score we have created a means to
easily track metabolic health and demonstrate progress while using
our sensor that is easy to wear.”
About Nemaura Medical, Inc.
Nemaura Medical, Inc. is a medical technology
company developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable
diagnostic devices. The company is currently commercializing
sugarBEAT® and proBEAT™. sugarBEAT®, a CE mark approved Class IIb
medical device, is a non-invasive and flexible continuous glucose
monitor (CGM) providing actionable insights derived from real time
glucose measurements and daily glucose trend data, which may help
people with diabetes and pre-diabetes to better manage, reverse,
and prevent the onset of diabetes. Nemaura has submitted a PMA
(Premarket Approval Application) for sugarBEAT® to the U.S. FDA.
proBEAT™ combines non-invasive glucose data processed using
artificial intelligence and a digital healthcare subscription
service in the U.S. as a general wellness product as part of its
BEAT®diabetes program that is currently undergoing pilot
studies.
Additionally, Nemaura has launched a beta trial
of Miboko, a metabolic health and well-being program using a
non-invasive glucose sensor along with an AI mobile application
that helps a user understand how certain foods and lifestyle habits
can impact one’s overall metabolic health and well-being. Nemaura
believes that up to half the population could benefit from a sensor
and program that monitors metabolic health and well-being.
The Company sits at the intersection of the
global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59
billion by 2025, the $50+ billion pre-diabetic market, and the
wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness
applications that is estimated to reach $60 billion by 2023.
