First Claim
Patent Images
1. A blood sugar level measuring apparatus comprising:
- a measurement portion for obtaining a plurality of measurement values related to a body surface and a measurement environment, including at least a measurement value related to heat measurement;
a selecting means for selecting an able-bodied person or a diabetic patient; and
a calculation portion for calculating a blood sugar level based on the plurality of measurement values obtained in the measuring portion and the result of selection by the selecting means.

Abstract
Blood sugar levels are measured in a non-invasive way based on temperature measurement. Different regression functions are used for an able-bodied person and a diabetic patient when stabilizing measurement data by correcting a non-invasively measured blood sugar level, i.e. a value obtained by temperature measurement, with blood oxygen saturation and blood flow volume.

6. A blood sugar level measuring apparatus comprising:
-
an input means for entering an input identifying an able-bodied person or a diabetic patient; a heat amount measuring portion for measuring a plurality of temperatures derived from a body surface in order to obtain information used for calculating the amount of transfer of heat by convection and the amount of transfer of heat by radiation, which relate to the dissipation of heat from the body surface; an oxygen amount measuring portion for obtaining information relating to the amount of oxygen in blood; a storage portion in which a function for able-bodied persons and a function for diabetic patients are individually stored, the functions relating parameters corresponding to the plurality of temperatures and the blood oxygen amount to blood sugar levels; a calculation portion for converting a plurality of measurement values inputted from the heat amount measuring portion and the oxygen amount measuring portion into the parameters individually, and applying the parameters to the function stored in the storage portion for the able-bodied persons or for the diabetic patients, depending on the identifying input entered via the input means, in order to calculate a blood sugar level; and a display portion for displaying the blood sugar level calculated by the calculation portion. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
