USING MUSCLE TENSION SENSING TO LOCATE AN ANALYTE MEASUREMENT SITE ON THE SKIN
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining where to locate an analyte measuring device (3) in, on or under the skin, the apparatus having a muscle tension sensing device (1) arranged to sense muscle tension at different locations on the skin, and a processor (2) for determining and outputting an indication of where to locate the measuring device on the muscle, based on the sensed muscle tensions.

Abstract
Apparatus for determining where to locate a measuring device (3) on skin, the apparatus having a muscle tension sensing device (1) arranged to sense muscle tension at different locations on the skin, and a processor (2) for determining and outputting an indication of where to locate the measuring device on the muscle, based on the sensed muscle tensions. This can help make the skin measurements such as non invasive glucose measurements more consistent, and more accurate.

- 9. A method of measuring a characteristic of skin, the method having the steps of sensing muscle tension at different locations on the skin, determining and outputting an indication of where on the skin to locate the measurement of the characteristic, based on the sensed muscle tensions, and making the measurement of the characteristic based on the location indicated.
