Process and device for detecting the exchange of heat between the human body and the invented device and its correlation to the glucose concentration in human blood
First Claim
1. A process for qualitative and quantitive detection of thermal transmissions between a living body and a sensor via measurement processes for determining at least one of a temperature and temperature change using radiation sources and detectors both for contactless and contact measurement, the process comprising the steps of:
- physically detecting with high precision thermal interactions within a thermodynamic system composed of the sensor, the living body, and any space arranged therebetween via a combination of said measurement processes;
electronically numerically converting the physically detected thermal interactions using a processor;
evaluating said electronically numerically converted thermal interactions via said processor; and
assessing and unequivocally allocating the evaluated electronically numerically converted thermal interactions to a glucose concentration in human blood via a mathematical algorithm.

Abstract
A process and device are disclosed for sensing the thermal interaction between the human body and the disclosed device. The thus obtained physical measurement data are electronically converted and may be associated in an appropriate manner to concentrations of certain components of human blood determined in an unambiguous manner, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, etc., in particular glucose. The device has at least one heat measurement unit and electronic control, regulation, evaluation and output units. The device also allows temperature measurements with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The process is non-invasive and is particularly suitable for determining without contact the glucose concentration in parts of the human body, in particular human blood.
