Analysis of the viability of implementing a glucose level monitor based on impedance spectrography techniques as a basis for the development of a non -invasive sensor

This research proposal, as a final objective, proposes to define the viability of designing and building a non -invasive glucose measurement device in the human organism using electromagnetic emissions. The technique that is sought to analyze is that of impedance spectroscopy that uses microwave engineering parameter measurement techniques. The intervention of several areas of knowledge is considered to complete the ultimate goal: microwave engineering, antennas, blood glucose measurement, composition of elements that simulate the human body during the proof processes. There have been different approaches in the search for a solution, one of the most promising was presented between 2011 and 2013 by the Rochester Institute of Technology, however, after a report on the implementation of a first device that did not have the desired success, new developments have not been known. This project proposes to review different approaches that used microwave engineering techniques, validate those whose results were more promising, and evaluate the real viability of the implementation of a non -invasive glucose monitor.
