Abstract
This chapter offers the main general conclusions of this dissertation. The contribution of glucose to the dielectric losses of the medium is highlighted. Also, the feasibility of microwave resonators for the pursued purpose is reviewed, and the convenience of using the unloaded quality factor as sensing parameter is asserted. The interference of other components and parameters in the response of the sensors is pointed as well, and the possible enhancements easily attainable in the near future are remarked. Finally, the future scope foreseen is depicted, mainly focused upon improving the sensors, tracking broader information, developing realistic computational models, considering multi-technology approaches and involving machine learning techniques.
Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.
