1. A system for non-invasively predicting data related to an individual'"'"'s glucose levels, the system comprising:
- a wearable sensor device comprising;
(i) a heart sensor in non-invasive contact with the individual'"'"'s body and generating data indicative of the individual'"'"'s heart when the sensor device is worn by the individual, (ii) an accelerometer in non-invasive contact with the individual'"'"'s body and generating data indicative of the individual'"'"'s movement when the sensor device is worn by the individual, (iii) a galvanic skin response sensor generating data indicative of the resistance of the individual'"'"'s skin to an applied electric current, (iv) a heat flux sensor generating data indicative of the rate of flow of heat off the individual'"'"'s body, and (v) a processor in electronic communication with the heart sensor, the accelerometer, the galvanic skin response sensor, and the heat flux sensor, the processor programmed to utilize the data from the heart sensor, the accelerometer, the galvanic skin response sensor, and the heat flux sensor to generate output comprising a prediction of the individual'"'"'s blood glucose level.
