LUMINESCENT RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER SENSORS FOR NON-INVASIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING GLUCOSE FOR DIABETES

摘要

The present disclosure discloses a non-invasive wireless glucose level monitoring device. The device is fitted into a contact lens and can analyze glucose levels in tear fluid. The results of the analysis can be continuously transmitted to a nearby receiver and uploaded to a computer, mobile device or server.

主权项

1. An apparatus for the detection of glucose levels in body fluids, comprising
a transparent substrate; a luminescent resonance energy transfer (LRET) optical sensor embedded in the transparent substrate capable of generating electromagnetic radiation in response to interaction with glucose contained in a body fluid; and a signal detector located within a detection range of the luminescent resonance energy transfer optical sensor.
