This Quietly Trading NASDAQ Company Has a Unique Technology Aimed to Combat Critical Health Conditions Including Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.
Healthcare is undergoing a digital revolution.
Big Data, mobile devices and other innovations are opening up new frontiers in medicine, a trend that has become especially visible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Looking beyond the pandemic, digitalization in healthcare is expected to improve a broad range of outcomes, from the prevention and treatment of disease to nursing care.
Founded in 2011, NMRD set out to develop a single platform technology using non-invasive microsystems to measure blood markers at the surface of the skin.
Since then, the company has evolved with the creation of wearable technologies and digital healthcare solutions that encourage and empower people to take charge of their own health and wellbeing.
The company is replacing traditional invasive methods of diagnosis and healthcare observation procedures with its BEAT® technology platform that will allow for remote continuous monitoring of chronic diseases and health conditions without using needles.

Greetings Investors,
The last couple of years have profoundly highlighted the importance of health. The pandemic sadly revealed the consequences of underinvestment in health prevention when it comes to conditions like diabetes and obesity.
A recent Forbes article has alarmingly revealed that over 11% of the U.S. population is known to be diabetic. This translates to a staggering 37.3M people.
There’s also 8.5M people that have diabetes but have yet to be diagnosed. Diabetes has been on the rise for a while because of both the aging of the U.S. population -- as well as expanding waistlines.
This is a dire and costly problem. People who are diagnosed with diabetes incur average medical expenditures of $16,752 per year of which $9,601 are attributed to the disease!
The CDC has also found that an astronomical 96M adults in the U.S. are PRE-diabetic and 80% of these people have no idea that they have it.
It’s going to take some serious problem solving to solve this crisis but emerging med-tech company Nemaura Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) has a solution.
NMRD is addressing this huge problem with a non-invasive daily wear continuous glucose sensor.
The sheer convenience of the company’s wearable could be a game changer for millions of people. The device targets:
- A clinical market of over 60M people in Europe who have type 2 diabetes.
- A pre-diabetes and obesity market of over 90M people in the USA.
The USA market is currently the largest market opportunity for NMRD who could quickly turn into a household name in disease treatment and prevention with its wearable device.
With a non-invasive solution to help millions of people who suffer from chronic health conditions, Nemaura Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) may be one of the brightest med tech stocks hiding on the NASDAQ!
More Reasons to Have NMRD on Your Radar Include:
- The company has submitted a PMA (Premarket Approval Application) for sugarBEAT® to the US FDA. proBEAT™ combines non-invasive glucose data processed using artificial intelligence under a digital healthcare subscription service as part of its BEAT® diabetes program.
- sugarBEAT® is non-invasive, affordable, and quite accommodating to a user’s daily routine, it is expected to have wider appeal to non-insulin using patients with diabetes, those with prediabetes, and a segment of insulin users who dislike competing CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) owing to their invasiveness, cost, and inflexibility.
- The Company sits at the intersection of the global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59 billion by 2025, the $50+ billion pre-diabetic market, and the wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness applications that is estimated to reach $60 billion by 2023. These are all massive markets.
- Obesity and diabetes are a burden on the U.S. healthcare economy but NMRD’s technology could help significantly lessen the burden. The company’s wearable device has the potential to help people reverse diabetes and manage weight.
- The successful use of feedback from glucose monitors for weight loss and type 2 diabetes reversal is well documented in both the clinical and non-clinical space and has been noted to increase user engagement.
- There is increasing demand globally from program providers to differentiate their programs with sensors that can provide feedback on overall health and wellness to potentially increase health outcomes and returns on investment for program providers.
- NMRD’s Platform uses precision microsystems-based technology that has taken decades to perfect in academia, and only recent advances in manufacturing have allowed these technologies to be cost-efficiently mass produced.
- Pilot studies integrating proBEAT glucose sensors as part of a metabolic health and wellbeing program are already currently running in collaboration with the UK’s National Health Service.
- The company has developed Miboko, (www.Miboko.com), a digital healthcare program with the glucose sensor at its heart. NMRD believes Miboko addresses a significant mass market opportunity that they believe could benefit roughly a third to half of the population by using a non-invasive glucose sensor to measure and monitor a user’s metabolic health score, which is based on glucose tolerance or insulin resistance.
- Miboki has a competitive landscape as a holistic Metabolic health approach to weight loss and better health. The weight-loss app Noom has over 50 million subscribers and over $400M in revenue!
- The company recently reported initial patient data this week from the UK NHS Miboko study that demonstrated weight loss in 100% of the participants!
There is substantial room for growth for Nemaura Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) as it zooms in on the diabetes care market.
Notables in the diabetes care market include DexCom (DXCM) Medtronic (MDT) and Abbott Laboratories (ABT).
Halfway through 2022, DexCom reported revenue of $1.3 billion. Abbott said In the second quarter, sales of its FreeStyle Libre systems totaled $1.1 billion, up 18.7% year over year. Over the past 10 years, Medtronic has delivered a total return of 138%.
Company Overview
Nemaura Medical evolved from a microsystem-based drug delivery platform that was developed in 2011.
Since then, the company has expanded the platform to allow the monitoring of multiple chemicals in the blood, without using needles.
One of the great advantages of NMRD’s product, apart from eliminating the need to draw blood samples or inserting needles or sensors into the skin, is that a person can wear the device on whatever day they choose and for however long they choose.
This is a unique feature of the device that has vast potential to change the way people manage chronic disease conditions such as diabetes.
Those with prediabetes or obesity concerns, or even those looking to maintain better health through more careful glucose control, may benefit from the company’s Miboko, (www.Miboko.com) health program.
How one’s body metabolizes sugar is the main influencer of one’s appetite, weight, sleep quality, and energy and mood levels and even plays a critical factor in chronic diseases (beyond just diabetes), such as heart disease and dementia.
Advantages:
- Revenue generating and ramp-up in revenues anticipated through sales and potential new partnerships.
- First mover advantage with the non-invasive sensor platform.
- Simple subscription-based revenue generation models.
- Highly Scalable business model with potential for rapid growth and product introductions in the consumer space (non-regulated market) as well as in the clinical space.
Corporate Highlights
- Entered into a term sheet with Eversana to begin strategy development and subsequent launch of the BEATdiabetes program and the company’s unique daily wear proBEAT sensors in the U.S. The launch is expected in the first calendar quarter of 2023 and will target insurers and corporate clients. Eversana is a pioneer of next-generation commercial services to the global life sciences industry with its 6,500-person sales force.
- Received a provisional purchase order from TPMENA, the company’s Middle East/North Africa licensee for the company’s sugarBEAT® system, for 1.7 million sensors and 17,500 devices. The purchase order is contingent on the regulatory approval in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is expected in the coming months.
- Entered into an amendment of an existing $20 million note purchase agreement whereby the maturity date was extended from February 2023 to July 2024, increasing the company’s cash runway without requiring additional immediate capital raises.
BEAT® Technology Platform
Convenient, timely and painless, NMRD’s needle-free patented BEAT® sensor is applied to the skin via a small un-obtrusive patch and measures.
Transmitting this data to users and / or healthcare professionals via a Smartphone App, the technology will allow for medical conditions and chronic diseases to be monitored for better disease management or treatment.
Encouraging compliance due to its ease and flexibility of use, the company’s technology is expected to provide substantial savings to patients while potentially helping to significantly reduce future health complications from many medical conditions.
Applications of the technology include glucose monitoring, temperature monitoring, lactate monitoring, alcohol monitoring, and substance abuse monitoring.
Nemaura Medical aims to bring a multitude of products in the diagnostic field to global markets. This will be combined with world-class digital offerings so that we can play a significant role in the prevention and management of chronic disease conditions.
Company’s Technologies

Glucose monitoring solutions for Type 2 Diabetes prevention and reversal
With over 420 million people worldwide with diabetes and the number of pre-diabetes cases at almost three times this number, diabetes is an urgent global health crisis.
Combining clinical research with patient-friendly technology, sugarBEAT® delivers a non-invasive, affordable and flexible method of blood glucose tracking for improved diabetes management.
Continuous Lactate Monitoring for Athletic Performance (Non-medical)
Lactic acid is a key performance indicator for the body and an indicator of how well muscles react to long-term exertion and recovery. Well-trained athletes and regular sports players are very efficient at faster lactate ‘recycling’ for extra energy (ATP). The company plans to launch its lactate sensor to the sports & personal training market.
Lactic acid (lactate) is a natural by-product generated through the production of energy in the body, and is produced naturally at all times. The relationship of lactic acid to the ability of the body to perform must be assessed in two parts: (1) the function of the lactate itself, and (2) the adverse effects of the hydrogen ion produced in the reaction that creates lactic acid.
Continuous Lactate Monitoring in Disease State (Medical)
An increase in blood lactate levels is also a marker of critical disease states. Recent publications have indicated the presence of elevated lactate levels in patients with COVID-19 infection.
Continuous lactate monitoring has applications in various disease states and critical care, including the monitoring of progression in viral infection, sepsis and septic shock, and COVID-19 infection.
The company has developed a lactate sensor that is being integrated into its BEAT® platform.
Continuous temperature monitoring for tracking viral disease progression and aiding fertility
A person’s body temperature says a lot about their health.
Several diseases, including COVID-19, are characterized by a fever (an increase in body temperature), meaning that temperature monitoring is a vital tool in the detection, diagnosis, and, consequently, in the prevention of the spread of disease.
Core body temperature measurements are used to track the course of a disease and allows medical teams to analyze the effectiveness of treatments and proactively adapt to improve outcomes.
Future Product Opportunities
ALCOHOL MONITORING
Support personal health goals and provide warnings prior to driving.
Provide physicians with individual’s drinking habits.
Prevention of progression-to-alcohol-related disease
DRUG MONITORING
Monitoring the impact of drugs and personalized treatment plan for patients.
Global therapeutic drug monitoring device market estimated to reach $3.37B by 2024.
UK NHS Miboko Study
According to a news release from January 24th, entitled, “Nemaura Medical Reports Initial Patient Data from UK NHS Miboko Study that Demonstrates Weight Loss in 100% of Participants,” NRMD has revealed stellar initial results from patient studies of its metabolic health program Miboko with the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom.
The initial pilot program recruited 30 individuals that were classified as obese according to their BMI. The first cohort of 10 patients have been enrolled in the program for over 12 weeks. Results from this cohort indicate that these individuals achieved an average weight loss of 3.7 pounds and an average BMI improvement of 0.6 after 10 weeks, with 100% of participants achieving some weight improvement.
This level of average weight loss exceeds some of the publicly reported results in studies of other weight loss programs. As the Miboko program is optimized, average weight loss is expected to increase. The program is designed to continue for at least one year, with new patients being enrolled each month.
The Miboko program is the VERY FIRST to integrate a daily-wear non-invasive glucose sensor with a lifestyle app, which includes recording of food and drink, educational content, and an analytics platform.
The wellness program provides each user a metabolic score based on diet, exercise, and glucose response to food intake, which is determined by the sensor. Users are given personalized recommendations to help them lose weight, potentially avoid chronic health issues and enjoy a better quality of life.
"These results are incredibly encouraging, as they validate the approach that we developed some time ago that integrates the use of a non-invasive glucose sensor with personalized, app-driven coaching and analytics. We look forward to continuing the study with the National Health Service and anticipate seeing increasingly robust findings as we continue to follow these users and initiate new users each month."
- Faz Chowdhury, Ph.D., CEO
Marketing Strategy
Recent feedback suggests there is a significant business case to offer the Metabolic health program (from Miboko), and the proBEAT sensor and auto generated progress report as plug-ins to existing diabetes management and metabolic health programs.
In the USA alone there are over 20003 such organizations that the company can target. This would further minimize the need for infrastructure and associated costs to NMRD.
