Description
The HypoMon is the world's first non-invasive alarm system that identifies sleep-time hypoglycaemia (hypos) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. When monitoring and alerting to hypoglycaemia during sleep, the HypoMon is more accurate, more comfortable and more affordable than any other system on the market. HypoMon assures a safer, more comfortable night's sleep for all.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
Symptoms of hypoglycaemia can be easily recognised when people are awake, however during the night when they are sleeping they are 55% more likely to have an occurrence. AiMedics saw a need to develop a device that could accurately identify sleep-time hypoglycaemia events during this high risk rest period.
Before the HypoMon parents and carers needed to wake their children throughout the night to check glucose levels with an invasive blood prick test. This was highly disruptive for both the child and the carer because they could not receive a full night's sleep.

The HypoMon does not require any component to be implanted or inserted into the body, it is a totally non-invasive device and a world first.
The HypoMon Belt, worn comfortably around the upper chest, contains a compact-sized, needle-free transmitter. The sensors communicate wirelessly with the HypoMon Monitor, logging the body's physiological signals, including heart rate during sleep.
When hypoglycaemia occurs, it triggers the body's autonomic nervous system responses

The HypoMon Belt with Sensor and Transmitter is easy to fasten to the body and comfortable to wear during sleep. Once the user's pre-sleep blood glucose level is entered on the screen, the HypoMon will monitor their physiological changes for symptoms of hypoglycaemia until they finish resting.
The HypoMon makes peace of mind and a good night's sleep affordable. The HypoMon monitor and transmitter is $1500 per unit, half the cost of the US competitor (invasive system).
The HypoMon also saves customers money when it comes to consumables. To maintain a high level of accuracy the sensor belt is replaced every 3 to 6 months at a cost of $40. This is significantly less expensive and has a considerably longer usage life than consumables on competitor products. Competitor products can cost $140 per week compared to HypoMon costing just $3 per week.

The HypoMon has three specific alarms to ensure the system is functioning correctly. There is an alarm to ensure the belt sensor is correctly fitted and receiving data, there is also an alarm to notify the user the transmitter is too far away from the monitor, and lastly and most importantly the Hypo alarm.
