Sanket Goel will reimagine health access with sensory system technology.
Dr. Sanket Goel is joining UM as an Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair of Canada in Translating Cyber Physical Sensory Systems to Reimagine Health and Prosperity and Professor in the Price Faculty of Engineering. In this new role, Goel plans to adapt his innovative sensory platforms to improve health systems in Manitoba. Goel, an internationally recognized engineer and educator, will develop miniaturised sensory systems to address real-world challenges in healthcare, agriculture and environmental monitoring. Leveraging the already strong research ecosystem at UM, Goel will build the next generation of technology needed to improve access for people and communities across the province and beyond. “Many in Manitoba face challenges in distance and access when seeking healthcare and I look forward to investigating solutions together,” says Goel. “You may be familiar with the glucometer, which a person living with diabetes wears on their arm to monitor insulin levels – our lab can do the very same for any aspect of your health, metabolic rate, kidneys, cardiac and even cancer biomarkers.”

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
