Investor Information
Know Labs is an innovation company focused on bringing its cutting-edge developments in spectroscopy into the personal healthcare market and providing transparent quality information for the investing public and high value consumer products.
HUNDRED OF MILLIONS of people around the world suffer from diabetes and pre-diabetes. Our primary focus has been to build non-invasive continuous glucose monitors for these consumers. They are based on our proprietary Bio-RFID™ technology platform.
KnowU and UBand will allow people with diabetes to take glucose measurements as often as they like with no fingersticks or other invasive processes. After we obtain FDA approval, they will become the world’s first non-invasive glucose monitors and clear ‘best in class’ products in a $21B+ global market.
KnowU and UBand can also measure other molecules of value in the body that have their own large addressable markets. After a process of discovery, each ‘discovered’ molecule can be measured by the Bio-RFID sensor. Therefore, a KnowU or UBand user will be able to subscribe to multiple monthly services, some for medical reasons and others for lifestyle.

Our Goal
Know Labs is committed to furthering the science of spectroscopy so we can understand our bodies better.
This begins with a focus on the nearly 500 million people living with diabetes and 1 billion people with pre-diabetes. The Company’s goal is to provide an inexpensive entry for people with diabetes and pre-diabetes to continuously monitor their glucose levels, accompanied by a competitive monthly subscription fee compared to existing solutions.
This is a near term goal.
Building upon its technology platform the Company plans to identify other molecules which will provide useful and life saving information to enhance the health and wellness of even more people around the world.
As an investor in Know Labs, or any technology company for that matter, transparency should be the first order of business. Keeping in mind the proprietary nature of a company’s technology, can you learn enough to make an informed decision?
