Company Summary

Kilele Health is reshaping chronic disease management with an aptamer-based biosensor platform. Protected by 40 patents, our 2-week painless disease-specific wearables directly measure up to 5 blood biomarkers real-time. This actionable information prevents harm and reduces costs. The sensors are modeled on proven continuous glucose monitors.
Our 1st sensor tracks phenylalanine to manage phenylketonuria and GLP-1-associated sarcopenia .
