Laxmi will help people with diabetes stay in range more often, supporting better day-to-day control and long-term health through industry-first dermal continuous glucose monitoring.

What problem does Laxmi Therapeutic Devices, Inc. solve?

Existing glucose monitoring has lag time that limits how much patients can stay in their target glucose range, and lower time-in-range is linked to higher risk of eye and kidney disease progression, especially during fast changes like meals, exercise, or pregnancy.

Laxmi is building a continuous glucose monitoring system (sensor, transmitter, and applicator) that measures glucose in the dermal skin layer and sends real-time readings to a phone or reader via Bluetooth.

What makes Laxmi Therapeutic Devices, Inc. different?

They describe their dermal sensing as an 'industry first,' claiming the dermis's vascular support enables faster-tracking glucose signals than typical sensing, and cite their own published research using the FDA-approved UVA/Padova Type 1 Diabetes Simulator linking reduced lag time to improved time-in-range.

What makes Laxmi Therapeutic Devices, Inc. notable?

Founded in 2016, the Goleta-based wearable diabetes-monitoring device maker counts the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services among its funders alongside venture investors.
