University of Waterloo engineers have developed a breakthrough technology that shrinks satellite radar systems into a wearable device for non-invasive, continuous glucose monitoring, benefiting those managing diabetes. Dr. George Shaker and his team have created a radar chip and meta-surface that provide more accurate readings by focusing signals through the body. The system, powered by artificial intelligence algorithms, detects small changes in glucose levels without skin penetration, improving quality of life for patients. The team aims to make the device more portable and expand its capabilities to include monitoring blood pressure. Their research has been recognized in Nature’s Communications Engineering, showcasing their innovative approach to health technology.
