Inventive bioengineers at Georgia’s Kennesaw State College of Computing and Software Engineering are developing a finger probe to measure blood glucose levels without a blood draw, fingerstick, or even a microneedle in the subcutaneous tissue. Named GlucoCheck, the system shines visible laser light through either finger or ear tissues and uses a smartphone to analyse the resulting images of transmitted light in order to calculate sugar levels. Currently, the accuracy is 90%, and the researchers are tweaking their device to improve that and looking at a linkage with Amazon’s Alexa ecosystem.
