Lifecare shares key learnings from ongoing longevity study LFC-SEN-002
Bergen, Norway, 5 November 2025 -- Lifecare ASA (LIFE), a MedTech company
developing next-generation implantable Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
technology, today shares key learnings from the ongoing LFC-SEN-002 longevity
study.
Our pilot results to date confirm biocompatibility and provide valuable
insight guiding the next generation of Lifecare's implantable continuous
glucose monitor.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate long-term performance,
biocompatibility, and usability of Lifecare's implant, as well as key product
features in live settings. The overall study includes both laboratory
evaluations and live testing with dogs, supporting both the upcoming
veterinary market entry and the company's CE-mark pathway for human use.
The pilot testing in dogs, based on authorization by the Norwegian Food Safety
Authority (Mattilsynet), has been conducted under veterinary supervision at
the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Companion Animal Clinical
Sciences at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). The live testing
in dogs has provided substantial insights that directly inform the ongoing
development program.
* Biocompatibility and safety confirmed:
The implants were well tolerated, with biopsies and pathology analyses
showing normal tissue response and no signs of adverse reactions.
* Functional data collection achieved:
Signals consistent with changes in interstitial glucose levels successfully
transmitted from the subcutaneous sensor via the Lifecare collar and app,
confirming end-to-end system performance.
* Identified improvement areas:
The test highlighted specific technical refinements now implemented in the
new generation of implants, including:
* Improved signal-to-noise ratio using a piezoelectric sensing element;
* Enhanced encapsulation integrity with verified material stability;
* Optimized antenna design and collar connectivity, including testing of a
harness configuration for stable signal transmission;
* Firmware updates for data storage and battery management.
The longevity study is still ongoing in close collaboration with NMBU. In
October, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority issued a new authorization for
continued testing in dogs, explicitly a prolongation. On this basis the tests
will be expanded to also include diabetic dogs.
Insights from LFC-SEN-002 directly support Lifecare's parallel regulatory and
product development workstreams:
* Preparation for veterinary market launch in 2026;
* Preparation for first-in-human clinical trial in 2026;
* Integration of findings into Lifecare's ISO 13485 documentation for CE
marking.
About LFC-SEN-002
The LFC-SEN-002 study is conducted by Lifecare in collaboration with
Department of Companion Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary
Medicine at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. The project
investigates sensor longevity, biocompatibility, and accuracy in dogs, as well
as key product features in live settings, with the goal of supporting
regulatory and clinical documentation for future veterinary and human CGM
products.
