Transmission Spectroscopy in Noninvasive Blood Glucose Measurement

详细

The use of laser diodes and photodiodes in transmission spectroscopy has some effects (temperature, time, spectral, and spatial) reducing the accuracy of glucose measurement. These effects can be reduced by using a (1600 ± 3) nm laser in combination with fixation and occlusion of the tissue area under examination. In this work, a method is suggested that allows spatial displacements of the system to be taken into account. A number of methods for reducing the effect of the thermal drift of the diodes are also suggested. A portable noninvasive optical glucose meter implemented using these methods provides high clinical performance: more than 97% of the measurements are in the A and B zones of the Parkes error grid.
