Non-invasive Glucose Monitoring at mm-Wave Frequencies

Abstract

In this paper, we review our recent experimental studies to
develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring system at mm-
wave frequencies. A robust 60 GHz radar system is used to
differentiate between hemoglobin samples of disparate glucose
concentrations through detecting minute changes in their
dielectric properties. A new-developed dielectric assessment
system (DAK) is used to characterise the electromagnetic
properties of the tested samples and identify the amount of
change in these parameters at different concentrations of interest.
