US Patent Issued to MedWatch Technologies on Oct. 21 for "Blood glucose estimation using near infrared light emitting diodes" (Canadian, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,446,781, issued on Oct. 21, was assigned to MedWatch Technologies Inc. (Las Vegas).

"Blood glucose estimation using near infrared light emitting diodes" was invented by Bruce Matichuk (Alberta, Canada) and Mike E. Moore (Las Vegas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Near Infrared Spectroscopy is employed to non-invasively detect blood glucose concentrations, in a multi-sensing detection device. A multi-layered artificial neural network is used to assess these relationships of non-linear interference from human tissue, as well as differences among individuals, and accurately estimate blood glucose levels. Diffuse reflectance spectrum from the ...
