About RSP Systems A/S
RSP Systems, a Danish biotechnology company founded in 2006 as a spinout from Odense University, focuses on using Raman spectroscopy for non-invasive diagnostics. Raman is a well-understood and widely applied technology but using it for diagnostics has long eluded industry. RSP Systems has overcome these hurdles. Over the past six years, the company has aimed at glucose monitoring and has developed a prototype that shows target performance in clinical studies carried out in collaboration with the University of Odense. The company is now integrating its technology into a convenient consumer device as the first non-invasive glucose monitor of analytical quality for diabetic patients. Other applications will follow the market launch.
