OST Lab: “Blood glucose level” measurement with optical sensor: No blood sampling
OST Lab GK: (Koriyama City)
Mr. Sadao Omata (72), a former professor of the Faculty of Engineering at Nihon University, is the representative and conducts research projects on medical devices.
Optical sensor: Instantly measure blood glucose level
On October 5, we have developed a technology that can instantly measure blood glucose levels simply by touching the “” optical sensor. “
Reducing the burden on diabetics:
It’s painless.
It is expected that “measurement of blood glucose level will reduce the burden on diabetic patients who pierce the needle and collect blood.”
Properties of “glucose”:
According to Mr. Omata
To the sugar “glucose” in the blood.
When a semiconductor laser light source such as an LED is applied,
It has the property of absorbing or transmitting light depending on the amount.
Developed measurement system:
Shine light on your fingers, etc.
The amount of light returned
Analyze with our own “blood glucose analyzer”
Measure blood glucose fluctuations in real time.
Future development:
It can also be installed in smartphones and smart watches.
If the system is put into practical use, it will be of great help to patients.
In the future, we will collaborate with medical device manufacturers and others for practical use.
