Glucotrack’s Medical Advisory Board provides strategic guidance to Glucotrack as the Company advances development of its innovative CBGM system, which is designed to directly measure blood glucose levels without the measurement lag time associated with traditional continuous glucose monitoring systems that measure glucose in interstitial fluid. With a sensor life of 3 years and no wearable component, the CBGM system aims to address the limitations of existing glucose monitoring solutions including real-time accuracy, longevity, comfort, wearability and supply management. The CBGM is designed for a less intrusive approach to continuous glucose monitoring.

Dr. Umpierrez said: "I am honored to be joining Glucotrack’s Medical Advisory Board. The Company's innovative approach to continuous blood glucose monitoring through its implantable CBGM technology represents a potentially significant advancement in diabetes care. Having followed the encouraging results from their first-in-human studies, I look forward to contributing to the clinical development of this promising technology as a new approach for many people living with diabetes."
