Basic concept
Various non-invasive devices under development have shown promising results in measuring glucose levels under controlled conditions in the lab or hospital, but failed to address the influence of a number of perturbing factors (body temperature, microcirculation, sweat, moisture and thickness of different skin layers) which prevent accurate measurement of glucose levels under changing conditions in daily life.
Solianis’ non-invasive continuous glucose monitor employs Impedance Spectroscopy to track changes in the glucose levels. The IS technology uses frequencies between 100kHz and 8 GHz to measure the effect of changing glucose levels in blood, cells and interstitial fluid and the resulting changes in the ac and dc conductivity in both hyper- and hypoglycaemic events.
Solianis’ proprietary, patented technology is unique in that it uses a Multi-sensor Concept to address the influence of the perturbing factors, thereby allows for more reliable monitoring of changes in glucose levels in daily life conditions
