Glucose Monitors
Enabling smarter, continuous glucose monitoring.
The Knowles Advantage
Glucose monitoring technologies, particularly continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), are transforming diabetes management by providing real-time insights that enable more precise and proactive care. These systems rely on compact, high-reliability electronics to continuously measure glucose levels through wearable or implantable sensors and transmit data to external devices or applications. As designs evolve toward longer-lasting implantable sensors and more integrated systems, reliability, miniaturization, and low-power performance become critical. Knowles supports this innovation with high-reliability capacitors and precision-engineered components that ensure stable operation, accurate signal processing, and long-term durability in demanding medical environments.
- High-reliability MLCCs: Screened to MIL-PRF standards for stable, long-term performance in glucose monitoring electronics.
- Precision signal integrity: Capacitors support accurate sensing, filtering, and signal conditioning for reliable glucose readings.
- Miniaturized components: Enable compact wearable and implantable sensor designs for improved patient comfort and usability.
- Low-power operation: Optimized components help extend battery life in continuous monitoring systems.
- Implantable device support: Designed for next-generation sensors with extended lifetimes compared to traditional wearable devices.
- Proven screening and compliance: ISO 13485 processes and rigorous testing ensure safety, performance, and regulatory confidence.
Knowles leverages advanced miniaturization capabilities—including precision machining, micro molding, micro stamping, coil winding, and microelectronics assembly—to enable smaller, lighter, and more efficient medical devices without compromising performance or quality. With micron-level precision, rigorous quality control, and end-to-end design and manufacturing support, Knowles helps Medtech innovators reduce complexity, optimize designs, and scale production reliably and cost-effectively.
