SENS

Senseonics Holdings, Inc.

A medical technology company that makes the Eversense line of implantable continuous glucose monitors for people with diabetes. Unlike skin-worn sensors that last days, Eversense's small sensor is placed under the skin of the upper arm by a healthcare professional and can work for up to a year. Founded in 1996 and based in Germantown, Maryland, the company was once called Sensors for Medicine and Science before renaming itself Senseonics in 2012 — a blend of "sense," "eon" (long time), and "-ics" nodding to its long-wear sensors.
