20180008175 · 2018-01-11 ·

The non-invasive blood glucose level measurement device (1) is provided with a pulse waveform measurement unit (2) having FBG sensors (4) for measuring an acceleration pulse wave of a test subject; and a data-processing unit (3) for calculating the blood glucose level of the test subject at the point in time of measurement of the acceleration pulse wave, from waveform information of the measured acceleration pulse wave, on the basis of a predetermined correlation. The correlation is a calibration curve constructed by carrying out a PLS regression analysis, using the blood glucose level measured by a non-invasive blood glucose method as the objective variable, and a simultaneously-measured acceleration pulse wave as the explanatory variable. A non-invasive blood glucose level measurement device capable of measuring blood glucose level at about the same measurement accuracy as an invasive blood glucose measurement device can be achieved thereby.

Precision treatment platform enabled by whole body digital twin technology

A patient health management platform accesses a metabolic profile for a patient and biosignals recorded for the patient during a current time period comprising sensor data and/or lab test data collected for the patient. The platform receives patient data recorded during the current time period comprising food items consumed, medications taken, and symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform implements a machine-learned metabolic model to determine a metabolic state of the patient at a conclusion of the current time period by comparing a true representation of the metabolic state and a prediction of the metabolic state. The true representation and the prediction are determined based on the recorded biosignals and the recorded patient data, respectively. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation outlining instructions for the patient to improve their metabolic state and provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.
