The inspiration for Glutara lies in the millions of lives touched by diabetes. We saw an unmet need and harnessed the power of innovation to create a solution that makes a real difference. This isn't just about technology; it's about empowering individuals to reclaim their health and live life to the fullest.

1. Reducing Premature Mortality Diabetes isn't a life sentence. Glutara empowers individuals to manage their condition proactively, minimizing complications and contributing to the goal of reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases like diabetes.
2. Tackling NCDs Head-on Diabetes isn't just a personal burden; it's a global health challenge. Glutara tackles it head-on by optimizing glycemic control and reducing healthcare costs, ultimately lessening the burden of NCDs on individuals and healthcare systems.

At the heart of Glutara lies a belief: Technology shouldn't be a barrier, but a bridge. We're passionate about making advanced solutions accessible and affordable, democratizing healthcare and improving the lives of millions.

1. Innovation that Empowers We're not just building a CGM; we're building a bridge to a future where scientific research and development in diabetes soar. Glutara's data-driven insights pave the way for personalized treatment plans and groundbreaking discoveries.
2. Non-invasive Revolution Ditch the needles, embrace freedom. Glutara's painless CGM technology is a game-changer, unlocking seamless monitoring and empowering individuals to actively participate in their own health journey.

We believe a healthy planet and healthy communities go hand-in-hand. Glutara was born from the desire to not only empower individuals but also contribute to a more sustainable future for all. We envision cities where technology fosters well-being and builds resilient communities.

Users of Glutara will directly interact with the Presentation Layer, namely the Glutara wearable built with Arduino & ESP32, as well as the Glutara mobile application built with Flutter & Dart. Any business or computational logic is abstracted onto the serverless backend hosted on Cloud Run. With Cloud Run's auto-scaling and load balancing capabilities, in the event of more traffic, our backend is able to seamlessly scale horizontally to meet the growing demands of the application. Due to the flexibility and versatility of Cloud Run, an external load balancer in the form of Google's Cloud Load Balancing could be tapped on to deploy our backend to multiple regions and further reduce latencies and downtime.
