UniNeedle Revolutionizes

Less pain,
More accuracy.

UniNeedle's biosensor continuously reads interstitial glucose and talks directly to your insulin pump, no fingersticks, no manual corrections, no guesswork.

Automate the burden of diabetes management

People with Type 1 and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes make hundreds of glycemic decisions every day. UniNeedle closes the loop, so the system decides, and people live freely.

🩹

Minimally Invasive

Sub-dermal micro-filament sensor. Applied in seconds, worn comfortably for 15 days.

🔄

Closed-Loop

Real-time bidirectional communication with any AID-compatible insulin pump.

📱

App-Connected

iOS & Android companion app with trend arrows, alerts, and cloud-synced history.

🧠

Adaptive AI

On-device algorithm learns your personal insulin-to-carb ratio and correction factors over time.

How the UniNeedle works

Three integrated components form a seamless feedback cycle, sense, decide, deliver, refreshed every five minutes, around the clock.

01

Electrochemical Glucose Sensing

Our biosensor binds glucose molecules in interstitial fluid and converts binding events into a real-time electrochemical signal, avoiding enzyme degradation common in first-gen CGMs.

02

On-Patch Edge Processing

A low-power ASIC on the transmitter filters, calibrates, and runs our predictive glycemic algorithm locally — results stay on your body, not a distant server.

03

Automated Insulin Delivery

Via Bluetooth LE, the device commands your AID pump in real time — micro-boluses for spikes, basal rate reductions for impending lows — continuously and automatically.

04

Predictive Hypoglycemia Prevention

Our onboard 30-minute lookahead model suspends insulin delivery before a low occurs, not just after — reducing severe hypoglycemic events by over 70% in clinical trials.
