About Cellnovo
An independent medical technology company specialising in diabetes, Cellnovo has developed and markets the first connected all-in-one diabetes management system that helps make life easier for patients. Compact, tubeless, intuitive and entirely connected, Cellnovo’s insulin pump comprises a mobile touchscreen controller with an integrated blood-glucose meter. With Cellnovo’s device, certain aspects of diabetes management still require an action from the patient (blood glucose monitoring and injection of insulin just before meals).This unique device allows optimal management of insulin injections whilst ensuring extensive freedom of movement and peace of mind for patients. Thanks to the automatic transmission of data, it also allows the patient’s condition to be continually monitored by family members and healthcare professionals in real-time.
Cellnovo aims to improve the quality of life of patients with type 1 diabetes and more generally all people living with insulin dependency, by using its technology to minimise the constraints and risks associated with this illness.
The current version of the system has already received CE Marking, is reimbursed in most countries and is already being marketed in France and the United Kingdom. Cellnovo has a clearly-defined expansion strategy that involves accelerating the product’s commercialisation, initially in Europe and then in the United States and Asia, and increasing its production capacity to cope with the expected high level of demand.
The insulin pump market is currently estimated to be worth around 2.2 billion dollars, and has substantial potential given that only 17% of the 3.5 million people with type 1 diabetes (in the US/Canada and main European countries) currently use a pump.
Based in France and the United Kingdom, Cellnovo has a 75-strong workforce.
