Application of the optoacoustic effect to measure glucose concentration

Abstract

Currently, there are only two invasive methods available for measuring blood glucose: the first, the most common method, requires blood to be drawn, which is then transported and analyzed to a clinical laboratory, applying the blood to a glucometer test strip. Sampling blood, especially in children, is a rather complicated process, in addition, the results of clinical trials take time. Therefore, non-invasive, continuous monitoring of glucose by optoacoustic method is quite promising. We used an optoacoustic method with a high spatial resolution, which makes it possible to measure the concentration of glucose in the blood. Experimental measurements were carried out in porcine blood at various glucose concentrations
