GlucoTrack Appoints Dr. Hirsh as Medical Director to Enhance CBGM Development

GlucoTrack has appointed Dr. David S. Hirsh as Medical Director of Cardiology to its clinical advisory team. This move aims to enhance the company's clinical development program for its Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor (CBGM). Dr. Hirsh's expertise in interventional cardiology will support GlucoTrack's clinical trials and educational initiatives, potentially strengthening its position in the diabetes care market. The company is focused on the design, development, and commercialization of novel technologies for people with diabetes.

Glucotrack, Inc. has appointed Dr. David S. Hirsh as the Medical Director – Cardiology to its clinical advisory team. This strategic move aims to bolster the company's clinical development program for its Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor (CBGM). Dr. Hirsh's extensive experience in interventional cardiology and electrophysiology will be instrumental in supporting Glucotrack's clinical trials and educational initiatives, potentially strengthening its position in the diabetes care market [1].

Dr. Hirsh brings a wealth of experience to the role. Prior to joining Glucotrack, he served as a cardiac electrophysiologist at Harbin Clinical Cardiology Rome. He also held positions as an Associate Professor of Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and the Director of Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at Grady Memorial Hospital. His expertise in cardiovascular procedures will support Glucotrack's unique intravascular placement approach for its CBGM, which aims to provide accurate, real-time glucose readings [1].

The CBGM is a long-term, implantable system designed to measure glucose directly from blood, unlike traditional continuous glucose monitoring systems that measure glucose from interstitial fluid. This innovative approach promises real-time readings with minimal lag time, potentially revolutionizing diabetes management [1].

Glucotrack is currently conducting clinical trials, including a long-term OUS feasibility study and an upcoming US pilot study for the CBGM. Dr. Hirsh's role will involve overseeing clinical development, site selection, physician education, and protocol compliance, ensuring that the technology advances through clinical trials and towards commercialization [1].

The appointment of Dr. Hirsh signifies a significant enhancement to Glucotrack's clinical leadership team. His expertise will be critical in developing education and training programs for cardiac interventionalists and in engaging with the endocrinology community to coordinate clinical care for people living with diabetes [1].

While the appointment of Dr. Hirsh is a positive step for Glucotrack, it also highlights potential challenges. The CBGM is currently an "Investigational Device," limiting its current availability and market readiness. Additionally, the company's forward-looking statements indicate uncertainty regarding regulatory approvals and operational financing, which may concern investors about the company's stability and future prospects [1].
