Abstract

Systems and methods for non-invasively determining parameters related to blood glucose are disclosed. Embodiments are disclosed wherein a wearable sensor device comprises non-invasive sensors generating various sensed data which is then utilized to determine a glucose-related parameter.

Claims

1. A system for non-invasively predicting data related to an individual'"'"'s glucose levels, the system comprising:

a. a wearable sensor device comprising;

(i) a first physiological sensor generating data indicative of a first physiological parameter when the sensor device is worn by the individual, and (ii) a second physiological sensor generating data indicative of a second physiological parameter when the sensor device is worn by the individual, wherein each of the sensors is in noninvasive contact with the individual'"'"'s body;

b. a processor in electronic communication with said at least two physiological sensors, the processor programmed to utilize the data indicative of the first physiological parameter and the data indicative of the second physiological parameter to generate output comprising a prediction of the individual'"'"'s blood glucose level.
