Near Infrared Spectrum for Non-Invasive Glucose Measurement

Abstract

This paper deals with novel approach for non-invasive glucose monitoring based on NIR spectroscopy. The technique was demonstrated on 300 human serums of different concentrations range of 08-297 mg/dl. In order to compare the proposed approach to a standard one, a regression analysis was performed and used to predict glucose concentration overall range of values. In vitro experiments showed a strong correlation between noninvasively device result and real glucose concentration. The correlation was 0.97 and Clarke error grid analysis showed that 97.33% of the measured fall within the clinically acceptable regions. Results showed that the created model can open a new path to a real-time, painless and a portable device that would well-being the lives of millions of diabetics in the world.
