NONINVASIVE BLOOD SUGAR MEASUREMENT DEVICE
The noninvasive blood sugar measurement device contains a device body, a sensor, a processing module, and an error reduction module. The sensor is configured on a side of the device body for detecting a glucose level in perspiration. The processing module and the error reduction module are configured inside the device body. The processing module is data-linked with the sensor for calculating and converting a measured glucose level into a corresponding blood sugar level. The error reduction module is data-linked with the processing module for reducing a progressive error accumulated by the sensor from repeated detection of perspiration glucose level. The present invention therefore completely avoids invasive means such drawing blood and puncturing skin.

Calibration free in-vivo measurement of analytes using electrochemical sensors
Typical electrochemical sensors measure target-induced changes in current output. Such measures of target binding are inconsistent across individual sensors, and furthermore, signal will drift over time when the sensor is deployed for long periods. These shortcomings can be avoided by the novel use of chronoamperometry to measure current decay kinetics as the indicator of target binding. Current decay lifetimes will vary in a concentration dependent manner, but remain stable across individual sensors and over time, allowing for calibration-free operation. By these methods, aptamer based electrochemical sensors and other sensor types may be deployed in vivo for extended periods of time and will provide accurate measurement of target binding without calibration.
