Abstract
A sensing device that includes (a) an image sensor matrix that comprises a first pixel and a second pixel; wherein the first pixel is configured to generate a first detection signal indicative of a presence of a first analyte; wherein the second pixel is configured to generate a second detection signal that is indifferent to the presence of the first analyte; and (b) a processing circuit that is configured to determine the presence of the first analyte based on at least a relationship between the first detection signal and the second detection signal.
Claims18
A sensing device, comprising:
- an image sensor matrix that comprises a first pixel and a second pixel;
- wherein the first pixel is configured to generate a first detection signal indicative of a presence of a first analyte;
- wherein the second pixel is configured to generate a second detection signal that is indifferent to the presence of the first analyte;
- and
- a processing circuit that is configured to determine the presence of the first analyte based on at least a relationship between the first detection signal and the second detection signal.
A method for analyte sensing, the method comprises:
- generating, by a first pixel of an image sensor matrix, first detection signal indicative of a presence of a first analyte;
- generating, by a second pixel of the image sensor matric, a second detection signal that is indifferent to the presence of the first analyte;
- and
- determining, by a processing circuit, the presence of the first analyte based on at least a relationship between the first detection signal and the second detection signal.
