Abstract

A method for measuring the concentration of a biomarker (acetone in human’s breath), which is based on the use of glow-discharge emission spectroscopy in air is proposed for the purpose of noninvasive glucose monitoring in diabetes patients’ blood. The experimental setup and measurement techniques are described, and preliminary results of clinical trials of the developed system under ambulatory conditions are presented.
