Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) is a common and revisable complication in diabetes, though not only in diabetes. Today, 1 in 11 adults are living with diabetes or a staggering 463 million people and 10% of global health expenditure is spent on the disease. The annual expenditures are $ 324 billion in the US and $ 161 billion in Europe. 50% of people are estimated to have CAN after ten years of diabetes. Patients with CAN have a five-fold increased risk of mortality due to a high-risk of cardiac arrhythmias, silent myocardial ischaemia and sudden death. CAN is associated with increased risk of preventable and treatable complications: hypoglycemia, blood pressure instability and sleep apnea. Screening for CAN is recommended according to international guidelines (ADA and EASD) once per year for all patient with diabetes. Different laboratory tools exist to diagnose CAN. However, these systems are advanced- and cost-intensive.
Vagus™ Ongoing production of single use utensils.
Vagus™ is the only device suited, and clinical validated, for the internationally recommended large scale screening of CAN. The entire test takes 5-8 minutes and is easy to fit into clinical practice. MD assistance is not required.
Vagus™ list price is 75% of the purchase price of laboratory devices. Consumables (electrodes and single-use mouthpieces) list price is 50% of laboratory devices.
Vagus™ is currently used by more than 30 hospitals in Scandinavia, UK, France.
Vagus™ has a clear pathway to FDA 510(k). Reimbursement for diagnostic Vagus tests in the US is already in place and the ROI of the Vagus device is within 3 weeks.
Vagus™ is NHS approved for UK based hospitals.
We are currently in negotiations with distribution partners for Vagus in the US – Vagus.com
40 min prediction of hypoglycemia
Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) is tied to symptomatic as well as asymptomatic hypoglycemia, which can have a significant impact on a patient's daily life.
Using the newest knowledge within AI algorithm development our invention, PreHypo, makes prediction of hypoglycemia possible in people with diabetes and CAN.
Hypoglycemia can occur if you eat less than usual after taking your regular dose of diabetes medication, or if you exercise more than you typically do.
Our invention enables patient empowerment by triggering a customize and personalized alarm from the patients or relative’s smartphone / smartwatch. This enables early intervention to avoid or reduce hypoglycemia.
