“Taking control of health is the start of a better lifestyle.”

Diet is the source of human energy intake, and this energy sustains a human's life. Yet, for many navigating the complexities of modern life, maintaining balanced blood glucose levels is a constant challenge. Traditional glucose meters, with their reliance on finger-pricking, introduce a painful and cumbersome step into the daily lives of those managing blood glucose issues. This method not only causes discomfort but also poses a risk of infection with each prick.

Addressing the Core Issue

Emerging research offers a groundbreaking solution to this dilemma. Studies reveal that saliva contains blood-based molecules capable of accurately reflecting blood glucose levels. By harnessing the potential of saliva for glucose measurement, we can sidestep the pain and complications associated with traditional methods. It also reduces the risk of wound-related infections, paving the way for a simpler, safer, and more comfortable way to monitor blood glucose levels.

Innovation Solution

Inspired by the enchanting fortune cookie, our blood glucose monitor combines the joy of uncovering a future fortune with the science of health monitoring. Just as a fortune cookie offers insights into what's to come, our device, shaped like this beloved treat, provides vital information about your blood sugar levels, empowering you with knowledge for a healthier future. It's a playful yet profoundly impactful approach to diabetes management, blending tradition with innovation for a future where health insights are both accessible and uplifting.

The Inspiration Behind the Product Design

Our final prototype is a compact, palm-sized blood glucose meter, measuring 8x8x5 cm and designed to resemble a fortune cookie. Crafted from medical-grade silicone, it features two distinct sections: the testing and the healing parts, designed to simplify daily glucose monitoring and management for patients.

Final Prototype

Sveeet pairs seamlessly with a dedicated mobile app, designed to meticulously log each blood sugar reading. This app not only tracks and summarizes your glucose levels but also connects with the health statuses of your family members. It's a comprehensive tool committed to safeguarding the blood sugar health of both you and your loved ones, keeping everyone informed and engaged in proactive health management.
