Introduction

WHO figures forecast the global number of diabetes sufferers to increase by 5x within the next 20 years, from 68m in 2000 to in excess of 350m by 2030, with a bulk of this increase attributable to increased diabetes prevalence in emerging markets. This 5x multiple increase in potential users of diabetes care products will challenge existing diabetes management methods and associated business models, and open the market to new entrants. Alternative healthcare models linking blood glucose monitoring and automated self-medication with wireless and telecoms technologies are likely to fill this market gap. This report incorporates a complete dataset of all relevant patents in this growing technology space.

 

Telehealth is an important emerging technology field worldwide as governments and industry try to cut medical treatment costs by running systems and practices more efficiently. This report contains a Boliven patent dataset specifically relating to blood glucose monitors and wireless communication technologies. Each section contains a description of the analyses, including notes on how this dataset compares to other related technology fields.

 

To offer some context around this topic, displayed below is a graph from a previous CambridgeIP Telehealth report comparing a number of medical devices and their relationship to wireless communication technology integration. It can be seen how blood glucose monitor patents compare to other medical device technologies in patent volume. The graph also illustrates to what extent wireless communication technology is integrated into each device technology. One interesting trend is the higher level of integration of wireless communication technologies with diagnosis/monitoring technologies than with treatment/drug delivery devices.

Focus data set A focused subset of patents of particular exemplary relevance to the wireless glucose-monitoring technology space, from top ranking patent-owning organisations including Bayer, Roche, LifeScan, Novo Nordisk, and indepedent non-corporate inventors. The full dataset includes all patents directly related to wireless glucose-monitoring technology and further encompasses related art in cross-over technologies, including, for example, wireless insulin auto-injector aspects.
