Glucotrack to Participate in FORGETDIABETES, a Prominent European Research Initiative to Develop a Bionic Pancreas
April 16 2025 - 8:00AM
Glucotrack, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCTK) (“Glucotrack” or the “Company”), a
medical device company focused on the design, development, and
commercialization of novel technologies for people with diabetes,
today announced that it will participate in the FORGETDIABETES
bionic pancreas initiative that will develop a long-term, automated
insulin delivery system that will enable optimal glucose control
without patient intervention.
FORGETDIABETES is funded by the European Union's
Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, a multi-year funding
program with €75 Billion to support initiatives ranging from basic
research to innovative product development. The groundbreaking
FORGETDIABETES initiative is dedicated to developing a bionic
invisible pancreas, which will free people with type 1 diabetes
from therapeutic actions and the related psychological burden.
Glucotrack’s Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor (CBGM) will provide
real-time glucose readings to drive insulin delivery decisions for
the bionic pancreas system.
“We are committed to the goal of revolutionizing
treatment for people with type 1 diabetes, forever changing the
medical approach towards this disease burden,” said Claudio
Cobelli, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Bioengineering at the
University of Padova in Padova, Italy, who serves as Coordinator
for the initiative. “The longevity, accuracy and convenience of
Glucotrack’s CBGM make it more automatic and less intrusive to
daily living than other glucose monitoring methods and thus an
ideal complement for our bionic pancreas technology.”
Despite significant advancements in diabetes
technology, such as subcutaneous continuous glucose sensors and
insulin pumps, daily management remains a substantial burden for
many people living with diabetes. The FORGETDIABETES initiative
aims to alleviate this burden by developing a groundbreaking bionic
pancreas technology. This innovative solution seeks to transform
diabetes from a disease that requires constant attention into a
more manageable lifestyle condition, much like wearing long-term
contact lenses. By simplifying diabetes management, the bionic
pancreas has the potential to revolutionize the lives of countless
individuals, allowing them to focus on their daily activities
without the constant worry and interruptions associated with
traditional diabetes care.
“We are thrilled to be part of the groundbreaking
FORGETDIABETES initiative, which aligns perfectly with our mission
to transform diabetes management through innovative and accessible
technology,” said Paul V. Goode, PhD, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Glucotrack. “At Glucotrack, we are committed to
redefining what life with diabetes can look like by providing
simplified, discreet monitoring with our CBGM. Integration into
automated insulin delivery systems is a key priority for us. We are
honored to join FORGETDIABETES to develop a fully implantable
closed loop system for people living with diabetes.”
Participants in the FORGETDIABETES initiative
include the Department of Women & Child’s Health at University
of Padova, Padova (Italy), the BioRobotics Institute at Sant’Anna
School of Advanced Studies, Pisa (Italy), Pfützner Science &
Health Institute GmbH, Mannheim (Germany), Centre Hospitalier
Universitaire de Montpellier (France), Forschungsinstitut der
Diabetes-Akademie Bad Mergentheim (Germany) and WaveComm, SME,
Siena (Italy).
