Abstract
Current glucose meters provide instantaneous results however are invasive and painful thus causing reduced compliance. A non-invasive, portable, wearable device would be ideal for monitoring and recording and provide a distinct advantage to current glucose monitors.
Claims12
A method of monitoring blood concentration of a substance which comprises:
- a. measuring a initial absorption data using near infrared spectroscopy (NIR);
- b. obtaining a second set of absorption data;
- c. adjusting the data using a convolution function and a Monte Carlo simulation;
- d. using a mixing model equation along with pulse oximetry information and the adjusted data to provide an initial estimate of the level of the desired substance.
