LighTouch Medical , Inc. - Spectroscopy

LighTouch Medical was founded in 1997. Working from a lab in Syracuse, New York, the scientists at LTM have succeeded in the development of a foundational technology that will support not only the original goal of a non-invasive glucose monitor, but a host of other non-invasive applications as well.

LighTouch™ technology derives its measurement from blood without removing blood from the body. Light of a very specific color is projected into the user’s fingertip, and the different colored light that is subsequently re-projected from the fingertip is carefully analyzed, yielding accurate Blood Glucose results.

Clinical trials of the glucose monitor began in 1999 in partnership with the Joslin Diabetes Center in Syracuse, New York. Since that time, progressively faster, more accurate and more precise measurements have become possible using progressively less expensive and smaller prototypes.

The device has not been submitted to the FDA.
