SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GLUCOSE MONITORING

摘要

A glucose biosensor includes a plurality of optical fibers configured for placement within the ear canal. A first optical fiber emits light into the ear canal. A plurality of other optical fibers capture and transmit the reflected light back to the glucose biosensor. A plurality of photodetectors are configured in the glucose biosensor to detect the reflected light from the plurality of optical fibers. The glucose biosensor processes the detected light from each photodetector to determine a glucose level measurement. In an embodiment, the glucose biosensor also includes a wireless interface to transmit the glucose level measurements to a glucose meter and/or a gateway.

1. A biosensor, comprising:
a first visible light source configured to emit visible light into an ear canal; a second infrared (IR) light source configured to emit IR light into the ear canal; at least one photodetector configured to detect the visible light reflected from the ear canal and the IR light reflected from the ear canal; a processing circuit configured to obtain a glucose level measurement based on the reflected visible light and the reflected IR light detected by the at least one photodetector; and a wireless transceiver configured to transmit the glucose level measurement.
