People with diabetes would be able to monitor their blood sugar without drawing blood using a system that is now being developed at the University of Waterloo.
In a recent study, a large research team led by Waterloo Engineering professor George Shaker combined radar and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to detect changes in glucose levels without the need for painful finger pricks several times a day.
“We want to sense blood inside the body without actually having to sample any fluid,” said Shaker, a cross-appointed professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, and electrical and computer engineering. “Our hope is this can be realized as a smartwatch to continuously monitor glucose.”
