Methods and Apparatus for Optical Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Change Indication
First Claim
1. A method for performing an optical non-invasive blood glucose concentration change indication, comprising:
- providing an optical energy source spaced from a photo-detector by a sensing area;
transmitting energy from the optical energy source across human tissue disposed in the sensing area and onto the photo-detector;
storing a first reading corresponding to a light intensity observed by the photo-detector; and
displaying the first reading on a display of a user device, the first reading corresponding to a baseline blood glucose concentration.
