Nemaura Launches Direct to Consumer Offering of Metabolic Health Program in Combination with GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs
Company CEO to discuss development at 1pm EST on 15th November 2023, at the Sidoti Virtual Investor Conference
Loughborough, UK, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nemaura Medical, developer of a daily wear non-invasive glucose sensor, and digital healthcare programs today announced the UK launch of its ground-breaking approach to metabolic health and weight management by integrating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with its behavioral change program, Miboko, complemented by pharmaceutical interventions using GLP-1 agonists such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. This innovative offering, featuring education, lifestyle modifications, dietary guidance, exercise goals, and cutting-edge glucose monitoring, represents a significant advancement in personalized weight loss strategies addressing the metabolic health, obesity and diabetes markets.
Nemaura's program leverages the power of its world-first daily wear non-invasive CGM technology, allowing individuals to gain insights into how their body deals with glucose. By using CGM for just two days per month, participants can access real-time data on how the drugs, lifestyle, diet, and exercise are impacting their blood glucose profiles, empowering them to make informed choices for sustainable improvements to quality of life.
In pilot studies with the UK's National Health Service (NHS), Nemaura's program has demonstrated encouraging outcomes. Early results indicate positive responses to the integrated approach even in the absence of drug therapy using GLP-1's, showcasing the program's potential to reshape the landscape of personalized health solutions.
The integration of behaviour change programs, encompassing education on nutrition, personalized exercise regimens, and lifestyle adjustments, complements the data-driven approach of CGM. The goal is to provide individuals with the tools they need to make lasting changes that support their overall well-being. The incorporation of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro adds a powerful layer of support for individuals seeking effective and sustainable weight loss.
"The launch of this integrated program is a turning point in the Company's history. Leveraging off positive outcomes observed thus far from the NHS studies, and the profound impact of GLP-1 therapy globally leads us to believe we have an optimal offering, with the goal of enabling the drugs to help kick start weight loss initiatives and then sustain this through education and sustainable behavioural change," said Dr Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura. Users may now subscribe directly via the Miboko website at www.Miboko.com
