Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described, including a method for detecting an onset of a hypoglycemia episode in a subject. One or more critical parameters for hypoglycemia are monitored without contacting the subject. A variation of at least one of the critical parameters is detected, and an alarm is activated when at least one of the critical parameters deviates from an accepted value. Other applications are also described.

A method for detecting an onset of a hypoglycemia episode in a subject, the method comprising:
- monitoring one or more critical parameters for hypoglycemia without contacting the subject;
- detecting a variation of at least one of the critical parameters;
- and
- activating an alarm when at least one of the critical parameters deviates from an accepted value.
Apparatus for detecting an onset of a hypoglycemia episode in a subject, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to monitor one or more critical parameters for hypoglycemia without contacting or viewing the subject, and to generate a signal in response thereto;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- by analyzing the signal, detect the onset of the hypoglycemia episode by detecting a variation of at least one of the critical parameters from a baseline level, and
- activate an alarm in response thereto.
