Insights

Trinity Biotech's breakthrough CGM sensor eliminates finger-stick calibration, potentially disrupting market with lower-cost, integrated monitoring platform.

Trinity Biotech has achieved a critical technical milestone in the development of their next-generation CGM+ platform. Their clinical trial results demonstrate that their redesigned glucose sensor can operate for a full 15 days without requiring finger-stick calibration—meeting the standard set by market leaders but with a differentiated architecture.

The elimination of finger-stick calibration represents a significant user experience improvement, removing a pain point that has historically limited CGM adoption. More importantly, Trinity's approach incorporates a modular design that reduces disposable components, which directly addresses the cost barrier that has restricted CGM access.

What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the multi-parameter monitoring capability. Unlike conventional CGMs that track glucose alone, Trinity's platform integrates cardiovascular metrics, temperature, and activity monitoring in a single device. This multi-modal approach aligns with the industry's shift toward comprehensive health monitoring rather than isolated biomarker tracking.

From a technical perspective, this achievement de-risks their commercialization pathway by solving what the company described as their "most uncertain technical hurdle." The innovation appears to be in three key areas: physical sensor design modifications, enhanced signal processing algorithms, and proprietary operational improvements. Together, these enable reliable glucose readings without the calibration requirement that has complicated user experience with older-generation devices.

With the global CGM market projected to grow from $13 billion in 2025 to $28 billion by 2030, Trinity is positioning itself to capture market share by addressing both the technical performance standards of premium devices and the cost concerns that have limited broader adoption.

Clinical data confirms elimination of requirement for finger-stick calibration, de-risking pathway to commercialization for the company’s next-generation CGM+ biosensor platform

DUBLIN, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on human diagnostics and diabetes management solutions, including wearable biosensors, today announced compelling positive clinical trial results demonstrating a major technical breakthrough and de-risking the commercial pathway for its next-generation continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, called CGM+. For the first time, trial data confirms that Trinity Biotech’s redesigned proprietary needle-free glucose sensor delivers accurate glucose readings across a full 15-day wear period without the need for finger-stick calibration, while also facilitating an innovative CGM design that reduces disposable components, significantly lowering the cost of care compared to current leading market products. As the high cost of existing CGM devices continues to hinder widespread adoption, Trinity Biotech’s innovative approach is designed to enhance accessibility and increase utilization of CGM technology.

“This milestone represents the most significant technical achievement since we began redevelopment of our acquired CGM technology,� said John Gillard, CEO of Trinity Biotech. “The elimination of the requirement for finger-stick calibration was achieved through a combination of sensor design modifications, refined signal processing, and proprietary enhancements to sensor operation. With this, we’ve successfully addressed the most uncertain technical hurdle and brought our glucose sensor in line with the standards of market leaders � but critically with a highly differentiated product architecture that promises to be more affordable, reusable, and sustainable while also supporting the single device integration of heart activity, body temperature and physical activity data.�

New Trial Data Confirms:

  • No finger-stick calibration required over a 15-day sensor wear period.
  • Enhanced user convenience, comfort, and reliability through proprietary glucose sensor improvements.
  • Successful technical de-risking which increases confidence in next-gen product performance and regulatory pathway.

The clinical validation of the calibration-free sensor marks a critical step toward commercialization of Trinity Biotech’s next-generation CGM+ platform. The glucose sensor tested in this trial is integral to the Company’s modular CGM+ device, which is in the later stages of development, with a focus on scalability, cost-efficiency, and environmental impact � key factors that support broader market access and long-term adoption.

The global CGM market is projected to grow from approximately $13 billion in 2025 to approximately $28 billion by 20301, driven by rising diabetes prevalence and demand for real-time health data. Trinity Biotech’s differentiated, high-data & low-waste platform is poised to expand access to CGM technology for millions of people priced out of current systems.
