Socrates Announces Noninvasive Glucose Monitor with Indiegogo Crowdfunding Project
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- Socrates Health Solutions today announced that the company has launched an Indiegogo Crowdfunding Project to raise funds for submitting their Socrates CompanionTM Noninvasive Glucose Monitor for FDA approval. Companies have invested millions of dollars for more than 20 years to try and produce an affordable, Noninvasive Glucose Monitor.
Using new, patent pending technology, Socrates already has a working prototype, as demonstrated in the Indiegogo video. The campaign is now live at http://igg.me/at/socrates/x/5026288 and the company is asking supporters to pledge at any level to help fund the costs associated with FDA approval including clinical trials.
The Problem
In the U.S., there are over 26 million diabetics and approximately 2 million new patients are being diagnosed every year. Worldwide, there are 371 million diabetics. 84% of these seek treatment requiring frequent glucose testing. The testing devices available today require finger pricking and the purchase of test strips. This is painful, inconvenient and expensive. The World Health Organization predicts that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in the world by 2030.
The Socrates Solution
Socrates CompanionTM, provides a convenient, accurate and pain-free glucose reading which does not require the collection of blood.
Supporting Quotes

To reach that goal we need FDA approval and we are asking for your support” said Scott Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Socrates Health Solutions.
