Occuity Design Director, Daniele De Iuliis, used all the skills and experience he has honed through over 27-years in Apple's world-class Industrial Design team to deliver a beautifully crafted concept design for the Occuity Indigo, non-invasive glucose meter. The new concept designs show a pen-sized device that will be slim, elegant, unobtrusive and easy to carry within a pocket or small bag.
Simple, easy and pain-free
A press of the top will activate the device and enable the protected optical lens to pop up. The user would then simply hold the device up to their eye for a few seconds, allowing the Indigo to take multiple scans and measurements, before quickly displaying a clear glucose reading to the user on the front. With no pain and no consumables, the user would be free to test as often as they need or wish to.
Whilst the final production version of the Occuity Indigo is still in the research and development phase, the demand for a non-invasive glucose monitoring device that is a pleasure to own and use is clear to see.
The Occuity Indigo's name was inspired by a number of factors.
Firstly, our vision is to make regular glucose testing and monitoring easier, safer, quicker and stress-free - by using light and 'Indigo' is part of the visible light colour spectrum.
The Occuity Indigo will allow those who currently have the hassle of carrying around all the things they need for invasive finger-prick testing, to pick up our device, put it in their pocket and simply - 'go'. With this freedom and "Indi"pendence", we hope to make it easier for people with diabetes to go about their lives less encumbered by their need to check their blood glucose levels.
