JDRF and BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) BDX +0.74% today announced an extension of their existing collaboration focused on Type 1 diabetes (T1D) to accelerate the development of BD's proprietary glucose-sensing technology which has shown promise in providing very accurate and reliable continuous glucose information.
JDRF and The Helmsley Charitable Trust (HCT) joined forces to support novel technologies that will be essential for developing fully automated artificial pancreas systems with advanced monitoring capabilities. The research expansion is part of the JDRF-HCT Sensor Initiative designed to accelerate the development of advanced sensors that improve the detection of changing glucose levels. Today's continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have significantly improved glucose control in people with T1D[1]. Next-generation sensors are expected to provide improved accuracy and reliability, with a goal of striving for more automated artificial pancreas systems.
