Lifecare’s sensor technology is referred to as “Sencell” and is suitable for identifying and monitoring the occurrence of a wide range of analytes and molecules in the human body and in pets. With an increasing number of people in the world diagnosed with diabetes, where only a fraction has access to continuous glucose monitors (CGM), Lifecare’s main focus is to bring the next generation of CGM systems to the market. With the Sencell sensor, Lifecare aims to improve diabetes management for humans and pets.

Lifecare NanoBioSensors GmbH is located in Reutlingen, Germany. The entity is responsible for the development and production of Lifecare’s sensors and sensor- systems including electronics and read-out technology. Lifecare NanoBioSensors has licensed the Nano3DSense production method, which makes it possible to produce pressure-sensor elements at nanoscale printed on Lifecare’s micro sensors. The production method for the nano sensor elements has been a crucial element in the process of miniaturizing the sensors from centimetres to millimetres. This miniaturization ensures that the sensors are suitable for implantation in the subcutaneous tissue in humans and pets.

InnovationLabz Mainz
The new production facility will be located near the existing location in Mainz, Germany. Lifecare has signed a lease agreement for nearly 1,000 sqm in a new building under construction, with the premises expected to be ready for takeover in mid-2025. In the meantime, an intermediate production line will be established at the existing facilities in Mainz. The first production line will automate key production processes at the nano and micro scale, ensuring high- quality sensor and system reproducibility.
