Methods for Noninvasive Determination of Blood Glucose Concentration Using Multisensor Systems

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

An approach to achieving sufficiently accurate noninvasive determination of blood glucose concentration by combining noninvasive measurement methods is considered. Multisensor systems based on combinations of spectroscopic methods with impedance, thermal, ultrasonic, and other noninvasive methods are described. A review of modern approaches to calculating target values in a multisensor system for measuring glucose concentration based on machine learning methods and neural networks is presented.
