Algeria faces a rising prevalence of diabetes, complicated by a diverse geography ranging from coastal cities to the vast Sahara. In these extreme temperatures, the stability of a glucose monitor patch becomes critical, as high heat can affect adhesive integrity and sensor accuracy.
The current medical infrastructure in Algeria is transitioning from centralized hospital care to home-based monitoring. However, the reliance on traditional finger-pricking remains high due to the cost and accessibility of a continuous glucose monitor in rural provinces.
Economic shifts and updated healthcare policies in Algiers and Oran are creating a demand for more efficient, long-term monitoring systems. There is a significant push toward adopting a non invasive glucose monitor to reduce the burden on patients and minimize the risk of infection in dusty environments.
