First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study in Jakarta will test whether a smartphone facial scan can accurately estimate blood sugar and HbA1c levels without needles. Researchers will compare the scan results with standard lab blood tests in 300 adults, with or without diabetes. If accurate, this technology could make diabetes screening simpler and more accessible in community settings.
