Abstract: A proof-of principle prototype of a non-invasive blood glucose monitor based on impedance measurements was developed and tested, with the average error between invasive glucose readings and non-invasive estimate less than 20% for type 1, type 2 and healthy users and for static and dynamic tests. Discussed are the schematics of the device, data acquisition and filtering, and data processing, with the emphasis on Neural Network (NN) algorithms.

Keywords: non-invasive monitoring; blood glucose monitoring; impedance measurements; specificity; calibration; ANNs; artificial neural networks; diabetes; biomedical technology; wearable devices; medical devices.
