Quantum Cascade Laser Glucose Sensors for Diabetes Care

Image



Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, which can revolutionize diabetes care. Compact quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) reduce the need for invasive blood sampling, providing real-time and continuous monitoring.

Implementation Details:

  • Design a portable FTIR spectrometer integrated with a QCL for detecting blood glucose via mid-infrared absorption.
  • Use data mining techniques to analyze glucose levels accurately.
  • Prototype wearable devices combining QCLs and biometric sensors for practical testing.
