Cordless Handheld Device Uses Vibrations to Eliminate Fingerstick Pain for Blood Sugar Testing

A new portable tool uses innovative vibration technology to improve the ease of diabetes management.

BING Innovations, LLC (Boca Raton, FL, USA) has launched DigiVibe, a cordless handheld device that uses vibrations to eliminate the pain of getting the finger pricked. Specifically designed for blood glucose monitoring, DigiVibe applies vibration directly to the finger, blocking pain signals to the brain and helping to make the process more tolerable for both children and adults.

While many people only get their finger-pricked at their annual checkup, for those with diabetes, glucose monitoring means having to prick their finger three or more times each day. DigiVibe, an FDA-registered and CE-certified device, has been created to reduce the pain and anxiety of checking glucose levels, whether a person is not keen on needles or just weary of repeated finger pricks. The easy-to-use and portable device adheres to any flat surface for hands-free use, making self-testing and diabetes management easier and more convenient than ever before. For a doctor who regularly deals with diabetic patients or an individual who must test their glucose levels regularly, the DigiVibe device can make the process easier and virtually painless - in as little as 12 seconds.

The DigiVibe Starter Kit includes a sleek carrying case containing one DigiVibe device, stand and tip, lancing device, five 30-gauge lancets, and one AA lithium battery. The battery is designed to last for approximately three months or roughly 450 finger sticks for a single user. Plus, there is enough space in the carrying case to fit one’s regular test strips and glucose testing device. Additional accessories or refills of supplies can also be ordered anytime on the DigiVibe website. One-time use disposable tips and lancing devices are also available for medical practitioners.

"The conventional way to test blood sugar for diabetes is often associated with pain, discomfort, and even fear, but DigiVibe has set out to dramatically make this experience better," said Dr. Marcelo Bendix, Endocrinologist and DigiVibe Medical Advisor. "Pain and finger soreness are among the top reasons diabetics sometimes skip blood glucose testing, which is not only dangerous, but makes it quite difficult for them to effectively manage diabetes. DigiVibe is truly a game-changer; it will allow patients to stay on top of their glucose testing and no longer fear the dreaded finger-prick they have to endure in the doctor's office and at home."
