Proof of Concept Clinical Study

February 28, 2023

This technical report titled, "Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring: A Validation of a Novel Sensor Compared to a Dexcom G6®," presents proof of concept for a new method to quantify blood glucose levels (BGL) in vivo non-invasively using RF methods by means of training a model to predict readings of the Dexcom G6®, as a proxy for BGL. The method uses a new type of sensing device that rapidly scans a wide band of RF frequencies. The report outlines data science techniques used to train a neural network model to make predictions, and includes metrics of model success and future directions of this work.
