IN-VIVO MONITORING WITH MICROWAVES

摘要

A blood glucose monitor for non-invasive, in-vivo characterisation of a blood glucose level in a living body, the monitor comprising: a microwave resonator having a resonant response to input microwaves and designed such that said response will experience a perturbation by a living body in proximity or contact with the resonator; and detection means for detecting changes in said resonant response from which said level can be characterised.
