B&W Engineering uses Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to develop innovative wireless charging glucometer 30 percent faster

Making blood sugar tracking more accessible

Advances in medicine have made diabetes an eminently treatable disease, allowing patients to live normal lives. However, managing diabetes requires constant monitoring of blood sugar levels to ensure food and insulin are taken at the right time. One common method for doing this is by inserting a test strip with a small amount of the user’s blood into a glucometer that gives an instant reading on current blood sugar levels.

Although extremely accurate, for a long time these devices were only available to medical professionals. Further, they needed to be plugged into a power source rather than running on batteries. To make life easier for diabetics, the devices needed to be portable and readily available.

B&W Engineering, a specialist in medical technology headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, set out to create a portable, wireless and rechargeable device that would be just as accurate. The aim was to make it as small as possible while keeping it affordable enough to enable all patients to take advantage of it. B&W Engineering called on Siemens Digital Industries Software and its Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™ software and NX™ software to help them achieve their goal.
