CureCheck: A Handy and Innovative Glycemia Indicator

An Easy-to-Use Solution for Diabetes Management

347 million people worldwide have diabetes (2012); they need a specific solution: easy, handy, portable, innovative. This is our offer.

CureCheck is a revolutionary glycemia indicator designed by Federico Fraternale, Andrea Ghiringhelli, and Marco Grimandi. This pocket-sized device provides a convenient and efficient way for individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels and administer insulin doses. With its sleek design and user-friendly features, CureCheck aims to make diabetes management more accessible and hassle-free.

Unlike traditional medical devices, CureCheck is discreet and compact, resembling a sleek electronic gadget rather than a medical tool. Measuring at just 131 x 70.6 x 26.2 mm, it easily fits into a pocket or bag, allowing users to carry it wherever they go.

The device operates by simply placing the fingertip on the dedicated hole. After a three-second countdown, a needle automatically pricks the finger, drawing a small blood sample for analysis. The user can then read the result on the display and proceed to inject the appropriate insulin dose using the built-in syringe. Each device can perform up to five tests and five injections before the rechargeable components need to be replaced.

CureCheck also offers convenience in insulin administration. Instead of replacing the entire syringe, users can simply replace the insulin vial, reducing waste and cost. Additionally, the device features a mini-USB output, allowing for easy charging and data transfer to a computer for medical trend supervision.

The body of CureCheck is made using polymer molding technology, ensuring durability and a sleek aesthetic. Its design and functionality have earned it the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment category in 2013. This award recognizes the device's well-designed, practical, and innovative features that meet professional and industrial requirements.

CureCheck is a game-changer in diabetes management, providing individuals with a stylish and efficient tool to monitor their glycemia levels and administer insulin doses. With its pocket-sized design and user-friendly features, it aims to improve the quality of life for millions of people living with diabetes.
