Systems and methods for measuring and improving blood chemistry
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- emitting radiation towards a living biological sample of a subject;
collecting data corresponding to an interaction of the emitted radiation with the living biological sample;
determining a concentration of at least a first biological analyte based on the collected data; and
providing an indication of subject health based on the concentration.

Abstract
Measurement systems provide a determination of relative concentrations of biological analytes based on transmission or reflection of near-infrared radiation by an in vivo specimen. Concentration and concentrations ratios associated with (ω-3, ω-6, and ω-9 fatty acids, lipids, glycosylated proteins, blood glucose, and cholesterol can be determined, and based on the determination an indication of subject health can be provided, or a dietary recommendation can be made. In one example, ratio of a concentration of ω-3 fatty acids to a combined concentration of ω-6 and ω-9 concentrations is determined. Dietary supplements can be recommended or ordered from a supplier based on the concentrations and concentration ratios.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a radiation source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation and direct the emitted radiation to an in vivo sample; a detector configured to detect radiation associated with an interaction of the emitted radiation with the in vivo sample and provide an associated detection signal; a processor configured to receive the detection signal and determine a concentration of a first biological analyte associated with the in vivo sample based on the detection signal; and a display configured to provide a health assessment indication associated with the concentration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28)

23. A method, comprising:
-
non-invasively scanning a living organism to determine an amount of two or more biological analytes with respect to reference amounts of the two or more analytes; obtaining an indication of an amount of at least one of the biological analytes that is available in an ingestible substance; and providing a dietary recommendation for the living organism relating to ingestment of the ingestible substance by the living organism based on the amount of the two or more biological analytes and the obtained indication. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
