Loughborough, England, Dec. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD)(“Nemaura” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, announces that it has completed its initial shipment of sugarBEAT® continuous glucose monitor (CGM) devices to its UK licensee, MySugarWatch Limited (“MySugarWatch”), previously DB Ethitronix Limited.

These projections will be revised on a quarterly basis.
“This initial shipment of sugarBEAT® CGM devices to our UK licensee allows the Company to now recognize revenue for the first time in our corporate history and is a true milestone in our development and growth,” commented Nemaura CEO Dr. Faz Chowdhury. “Starting in the UK, patients with Type 2 diabetes can now benefit from a less invasive glucose monitoring option that should improve patient lifestyle, adherence, and outcome. We look forward to the introduction of sugarBEAT® to patients across the world, as we continue our mission of developing and introducing ground-breaking healthcare solutions for many of the greatest healthcare challenges seen across the globe.”
