Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide. Poor blood sugar control can lead to serious health problems. However, traditional HbA1c tests often require visits to a laboratory, making regular monitoring difficult. For many patients, including myself, frequent finger pricks or clinic visits are inconvenient and uncomfortable.
The Orange Biomed A1c device aims to solve this problem. It is a portable and easy-to-use tool that provides lab-quality results in just five minutes from a single drop of blood. A key advantage of this device is its resistance to interference from hemoglobin variants. Such interference is a common issue in many A1c tests and can cause inaccurate results, especially for people of African, Asian, and Mediterranean backgrounds. By overcoming this challenge, the Orange Biomed A1c offers more reliable readings for diverse populations, helping to promote fair and effective healthcare.
Designed by BKID, the device combines functionality with a sleek, ergonomic shape. It feels natural in the hand and is comfortable for users of all ages. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry, allowing patients to check their HbA1c levels anytime—whether at home, at work, or while traveling. This reduces the need for clinic visits and bulky equipment.
The design process focused heavily on user experience. Every detail, from the curves to the buttons, aims to make the device less intimidating and encourage regular use. The simple interface is easy to learn, even for first-time users. Clear icons, screen prompts, and tactile feedback guide users through the testing process. This thoughtful design not only ensures accurate results but also builds user trust, turning blood sugar testing into a simple part of daily self-care.
Clinical studies show the Orange Biomed A1c delivers results that closely match standard laboratory tests. This allows healthcare providers to make quick treatment decisions, improving patient care. The device does not require recalibration or refrigeration, making it especially useful in areas with limited medical resources. With a shelf life of 24 months, it also reduces waste and costs.
For people living with diabetes, including myself, the Orange Biomed A1c represents an important step forward. It is more than a medical tool—it offers independence, confidence, and peace of mind. By combining smart design with advanced technology, it helps users better manage their health anytime and anywhere.
