| Description |
|
Freedom Meditech, Inc. is a developmental stage medical device company focused on the in-licensing, development, and commercialization of novel technology for the management of diabetes. |
 |
| Technology / Differentiation |
| Freedom Meditech's current core proprietary technology is a novel diabetes medical device that is being developed to provide patients with a more convenient and pain-free alternative to the 'finger pricking' method of glucose measurement and monitoring. Their patented technology platform is; 1) non-invasive; 2) entails shining a light in a person's eye to obtain glucose information; and 3) is being designed to display glucose information in digital format on a small handheld device. |
 |
| Market / Customers |
The worldwide diabetes market is currently estimated at $8 billion; the company's product presents significant potential in this market since no non-invasive blood glucose measuring device has yet been approved by the FDA.
|
 |
| Strategy |
Freedom Meditech, Inc. was incorporated in December 2006, with the intent of licensing, developing, and commercializing medical devices with clear market need and overall global appeal.
