Diabetes management is slowly moving away from needles, finger sticks, and insulin pumps that intrude on a person’s life. Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a novel combination of radar and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to help people manage diabetes more effectively and detect changes in glucose levels without having to traumatically poke the skin or draw blood.
The research was carried out by using Google’s Soli alpha kit. The Soli system, co-developed by Google and a German hardware firm Infineon, is a 60 GHz mm-wave radar that promises a small, mobile, and wearable platform intended for gesture recognition. By retrofitting the Soli, scientists were able to design a prototype that can detect minute changes in the properties of...
