Abstract/Description
-
This research refers to a proof-of-concept study concerning the development of a noninvasive blood-glucose monitoring system. The biosensor being considered is a microwave-based transducer (that can be rendered compatible for ISM band of 2450 MHz and hence Zigbee™ and/or BluetoothTM compliant). The goal of this study is tailored to develop eventually a unit for home-based healthcare and/or personalized wellness monitoring of diabetic patients. This pilot effort is expected to culminate in...
Show moreThis research refers to a proof-of-concept study concerning the development of a noninvasive blood-glucose monitoring system. The biosensor being considered is a microwave-based transducer (that can be rendered compatible for ISM band of 2450 MHz and hence Zigbee™ and/or BluetoothTM compliant). The goal of this study is tailored to develop eventually a unit for home-based healthcare and/or personalized wellness monitoring of diabetic patients. This pilot effort is expected to culminate in future in a wireless hyper/hypoglycemic risk-alert system and possible automatic insulin infusion pump activation efforts. The thesis addressed thereof provides details on the fundamentals of sensing glucose content noninvasively across a finger. The underlying principle of biosensing refers to detecting the change in the dielectric property of blood with differential changes in the glucose influx in the finger by sensing microwave (such as 2450 MHz) absorption and/or reflection so as to assay the glucose content of interest. Preliminary experimental and theoretical results are presented and discussed.
