Non contact monitoring of glucose level in blood using mmWave systems

Glucose monitoring has improved significantly over the last few years. Devices have become smaller, and today wireless wearable devices offer a seamless solution for people who require to monitor their glucose level multiple times daily. However, wearable devices are not always well accepted by people. Furthermore, monitoring solutions that are completely autonomous face acceptability issues and are not always very convenient to wear. Consequently, there is still a need for monitoring devices that are not wearable and yet very easy and comfortable to use.
In this context, Karly Smith, an undergraduate student in biomedical engineering at the university of Waterloo will work on a project to tackle the specific issue of non-contact glucose-level monitoring. So far, devices require access to people’s blood to perform this measurement. For people suffering from diabetes, this is an issue since the glucose level needs to be monitored several times a day. New solutions came up but they still necessitate wearing a patch that embeds a probe beneath the skin. […]
