Abstract
This article discusses the design of circularly polarized V-band antenna arrays for continuous and wireless blood glucose monitoring. The proposed system is designed to be integrated into earrings to sense glucose variations at a distance and without physical contact with the sensed area. Sensing occurs when one antenna array transmits its radiated beam across the neck veins to be received by a second antenna array integrated into a second earring on the other side of the neck. The analysis of received signals versus transmitted signals using machine learning algorithms enables this system to track glucose variation in blood instantaneously with great fidelity. Experiments executed on fetal bovine serum (FBS) solutions and in vivo experiments on animal models demonstrate high accuracy in the ability of the proposed antenna array system to continuously track glucose concentrations across the diabetic range [30–500 mg/dl]. Furthermore, executed clinical studies reveal an accuracy of 94.82% in continuously monitoring glucose variations.
本文讨论了用于连续和无线血糖监测的圆极化 V 波段天线阵列的设计。所提议的系统可集成到耳环中,在远距离感测血糖变化,且无需与感测区域进行物理接触。当一个天线阵列穿过颈部静脉发射辐射波束,被集成在颈部另一侧第二个耳环中的第二个天线阵列接收时,就会发生感应。利用机器学习算法对接收信号和发射信号进行分析,使该系统能够即时、准确地跟踪血液中的葡萄糖变化。在胎牛血清(FBS)溶液上进行的实验和在动物模型上进行的体内实验表明,所提议的天线阵列系统能够在糖尿病患者的血糖浓度范围[30-500 mg/dl]内连续跟踪葡萄糖浓度,具有很高的准确性。此外,临床研究显示,连续监测葡萄糖变化的准确率为 94.82%。
