Patent ID: 11103140

Abstract:
Described herein are embodiments of systems and methods for calculating glucose in a non-invasive manner using head-mounted sensors. In one embodiment, a system that calculates blood glucose levels includes a head-mounted contact photoplethysmography device that measures a signal indicative of a photoplethysmogram signal (PPG signal) at a first region comprising skin on a user's head, and a head-mounted camera configured to capture images of a second region comprising skin on the user's head. The system also includes a computer that identifies, based on the PPG signal, times of systolic notches and times of systolic peaks, and calculates the blood glucose level based on differences between a first subset of the images taken during the times of systolic notches and a second subset of the images taken during the times of systolic peaks. Optionally, the photoplethysmography device and the camera are couple to smartglasses worn on the user's head.
