SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING HYDRATION LEVELS IN ANIMALS

A system, apparatus and method for saliva-conductance based hydration sensors and for a wireless network comprising hydration sensors and base stations. The hydration sensors include electrodes, a means of measuring saliva conductance, a processor, memory and wireless controllers. The hydration sensors output user hydration status based on the conductance of the user's saliva. Saliva conductance is correlated with ion concentration of saliva, which is a biomarker for dehydration. Thus, saliva conductance can be a proxy for dehydration. The hydration sensors may be used in active or hostile conditions, e.g., military use. Symptoms of dehydration are delayed: fatigue and impaired judgment can occur before a user realizes he/she is dehydrated. The hydration sensors indicate dehydration to a user, thus encouraging a user to hydrate and prevent dehydration-related injuries. Data from hydration sensors may be used in determining supply delivery logistics in hostile or inaccessible terrain.

Diabetes Control Using Postprandial Feedback
20170258395 · 2017-09-14 ·

Disclosed is a postprandial glucose-measuring device for preventing the development of or reversing T2D. Included are methods for using the device as well as better use for invasive and noninvasive glucose meters. Further disclosed are novel exercise-sensitizing compositions useful for managing blood glucose levels in Type-2 diabetics with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. The disclosed glucose meters allow a user to also measure exercise and meal size—all with relatively instant feedback—more effectively than having to track the complexity posed by labels, glycemic index and calories. Also disclosed is integration of glucose-measuring devices with smartphones and health monitoring technology to make possible safe and effective interpretation of postprandial glucose readings by a patient to control or reverse Type-2 diabetes.

Methods and devices for measuring the levels of analytes in body fluids

A method of testing for an analyte in an individual comprises providing colour information obtained from a digital image of a coloured reagent on an analyte test strip, the coloured reagent having been generated in accordance with analyte in a test sample, converting the colour information from the image into an analyte level, recording the analyte level in association with user-specific information (e.g. a QR code), repeating the above steps to obtain two or more records of analyte levels for the same user at different times and using the records to monitor personal health or to predict the likely development of a disease or condition or to diagnose a disease or condition or to monitor a treatment regime associated with variation in analyte levels in saliva.
