Company Summary

In 2001 Greet Van den Berghe demonstrated that tightly controlling ICU glucose levels resulted in significant improvements in outcomes including 34% reduction in mortality and 46% reduction in incidence of sepsis while also reducing the cost of care. The combination of existing outcomes data with the lack of a Simple, Accurate, Fast, and Easy (S.A.F.E.) way to monitor glucose levels in intensive care has created a $1.5B market opportunity.
