Nemaura Medical Licenses Validated Mobile Application to Create Powerful Diabetes Prevention and Management Suite of Products

Clinically proven app from Healthimation, LLC, to be paired with Company’s proBEAT™ non-invasive CGM system solution to offer convenient and effective management of pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes

Loughborough, England - September 21, 2020 (GlobeNewswire) – Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD)(“Nemaura” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized  lifestyle coaching programs, today announces it has licensed the rights to Healthimation, LLC’s  mobile application based digital program, a well-validated and award-winning 12-week program to help patients manage their weight and pre-diabetes or early diabetes conditions.  The program is intended to be combined with the company’s proBEAT™ non-invasive patch CGM (continuous glucose monitor) for an enhanced behavioral change experience. 

Developed at a major diabetes center in the U.S. over more than 15 years, the digital program curriculum implements the most advanced approach to nutrition, exercise, and behavioral change and has been clinically tested and has demonstrated many benefits to a patient’s overall health, including weight reduction, significant improvements in A1C, lipid profile, and blood pressure, and a reduction in medications taken. 

Healthimation, LLC has implemented this curriculum in an app that gamifies daily tasks and uses engaging high-quality animation and live coaching to encourage users to make healthy behavior changes, such as improvements in personal nutrition and exercise coaching, via the development and education of the app’s avatar Lena.  Through machine-learning technology, the software makes Lena “smarter”, resulting in more personal recommendations for the patient over time. 

Dr. Faz Chowdhury, Nemaura Medical’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are delighted and honored to be working with Healthimation to bring diabetic patients an easy-to-use solution that combines our proBEAT™ CGM product with a clinically validated diabetes management and reversal program.  Our ultimate aim is to help patients with pre-diabetes from becoming diabetic while also providing support to those currently with Type 2 diabetes to potentially reverse their condition.  Diabetes continues to be one of the largest growing medical problems in the U.S., and our aim is to provide an unparalleled product and suite of services that can compete favorably with existing products on the market that are less convenient and more invasive for patients.”

The Company believes that combination of the digital program with Nemaura’s proBEAT™ offering expected to launch this year, will allow for more beneficial outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes, help prevent high-risk pre-diabetic patients from becoming diabetic, and possibly even lead to diabetes remission in some patients.  The integrated offering offers numerous advantages in breadth of application and depth of features over other competing digital platforms on the market attempting to address the weight control and/or diabetes markets, many of which are more expensive and more invasive than the Company’s anticipated solution.

SugarBEAT®, Nemaura’s patented, CE marked, needle-free CGM that is non-invasive, affordable, and painless, is easily applied to the skin via a small unobtrusive patch.  The device transmits blood glucose data to users and/or healthcare professionals via a mobile app to allow for better monitoring or treatment.  The Company’s BEAT™diabetes is a planned health subscription service driven by the personalized data provided by sugarBEAT® and processed through an artificial intelligence engine to provide personalized 1-on-1 lifestyle coaching and behavior change recommendations.

In the U.S., there are currently 88 million patients considered to be pre-diabetic and 25 million patients with Type 2 diabetes.  Worldwide, there are 420 million patients with diabetes and over 1 billion people considered pre-diabetic.
