BGEM
BGEM is the world’s first non-invasive solution powered by an AI-driven algorithm. It is a cloud-based technology that enables wearables and hearables with Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to assess the risk of diabetes.​
The Global Challenge of Diabetes¹
Diabetes is a global challenge as it is rising at an alarming rate around the world. It is one of the main causes of death in most developed countries, and is also the leading cause of blindness, stroke, amputation and kidney failure.

Why the need for BGEM?
Regular monitoring of blood glucose plays an important part in managing diabetes risks. Health screenings or finger pricking with lancet are the common procedures used in determining blood glucose levels. Nonetheless, these are not regular and proactive routines that are built into a person’s daily life habits.
Actxa identifies the need for an innovative solution that offers ​
non-invasive risk assessments so that intervention can be introduced early to delay or prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).​
