Singapore, 9 November 2024 – Actxa, a Singapore-based deep tech company, showcased its cutting-edge solutions at World Diabetes Day 2024, organised by Diabetes Singapore at Toa Payoh HDB Hub Mall on 9 and 10 November.
Over the weekend, Actxa featured its Blood Glucose Evaluation & Monitoring (“BGEM”) technology – the world’s first non-invasive blood glucose monitoring solution powered by a cloud-based AI-driven algorithm.
The event was graced by Ms Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information & Ministry of Health, as the Guest of Honour, emphasising the critical importance of combating diabetes in Singapore.
Non-Invasive Diabetes Monitoring with BGEM Technology
At the heart of Actxa’s booth was the BGEM technology, which marks a new approach to early diabetes detection and management. BGEM leverages wearables with photoplethysmography (“PPG”) sensors to collect essential data, in which an AI model computes the relevant digital biomarkers correlated with prediabetes or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to assess diabetic risk and generate predicted blood glucose results to support early intervention.
BGEM predicts and classifies blood glucose levels as either “Normal” or “Elevated” and assesses the risk of Type 2 diabetes based on the last three days of measurement results. Personalised health tips were also shared with users to encourage ongoing wellness.
During the two-day event, attendees had the opportunity to experience live demonstrations of the BGEM solution, which offers blood glucose predictions and classifications within five minutes using smart rings.
Transforming Health with Preventive Technology
Marcus Soo, Chief Executive Officer of Actxa, said, "Actxa is excited to be a gold sponsor at World Diabetes Day 2024 as we continue our journey to translate technological innovations into evident solutions that enhance lives. Diabetes remains one of Singapore's most urgent public health challenges, and we are committed to making impactful, accessible solutions for early detection and chronic disease management.
BGEM exemplifies our dedication to providing tools that empower people to make proactive health choices. We envision a future where managing chronic conditions like diabetes is made more attainable for all, building healthier communities together.”
