Development of machine learning techniques for non-invasive blood glucose sensor

Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with more than 8% of the world population suffered from it. Millions of diabetics have to undergo painful and grueling invasive blood glucose testing several times a day to monitor their blood glucose level. In order to solve this problem, scientists...

description Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with more than 8% of the world population suffered from it. Millions of diabetics have to undergo painful and grueling invasive blood glucose testing several times a day to monitor their blood glucose level. In order to solve this problem, scientists all over the world have spent a great effort on the research of non-invasive blood glucose measurement and proposed a variety of methods, but none of them has been proven to be reliable in clinical practice. This dissertation attempts to develop a microwave-based non-invasive blood glucose measurement method with Machine Learning technique, in order to increase the accuracy of blood glucose level estimation.
