Senseonics begins first human trial of Freedom CGM
Senseonics Holdings has started the first human trial for its Freedom CGM system, which transmits data directly to mobile devices without an external transmitter. The trial focuses on safety and functionality, with plans for a pivotal trial in 2027 and potential commercial release in 2028. The device builds on the Eversense 365 system, aiming to eliminate external components. Preclinical assessments were completed in Q2 2026.
