Brighter's main patent granted in Brazil.
Brighter's main patent for Actiste – the world's first complete IoT unit for diabetes monitoring and treatment – has been granted in Brazil. The country is one of Brighter's most important target markets.
About 9% of Brazil’s adult population – some 13 million people – suffer from diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Association (2017). The financial burden of the disease and its complications is high, and there is a strong need for more effective preventive care and everyday treatment.
"This is a strategically important development for Brighter," says CEO Henrik Nyström. "Brazil is the fourth largest country in the world in terms of the absolute number of people with diabetes. Studies show that the majority do not achieve metabolic control."
"In the long term, this is one of the most important markets we intend to establish and will likely be the first South American country we enter. I have previously lived and worked in Brazil, and seen the development up close."
