It is at the University of Cardiff where a group of researchers have started working on a project that consists precisely in finding an alternative method to punctures to obtain blood glucose, specifically it is about using microwave.
Is this safe for our body?It is logical that that question arises, since it is not very conventional to launch microwave waves against our body.There is no reason to worry, they say the amount of waves that are broadcast is close to 1000 times lower than that a mobile phone broadcast, although this will already be responsible for certifying the corresponding agency one day.
Swansea Operation Microwave Diabetes
The operation of the device is very simple, in addition to expanding the possibilities known so far.The idea is that it goes, just like the smartwatch that Google patented, and consists of a device like the one you see on these lines that adheres to our arm through an adhesive - if you allow me redundancy - and estimatea duration of thirty years for him.In addition, it includes the possibility of making a Bluetooth shipping of the data that collects, for example, a mobile application that accompanies it.
With this we could get total control of our state from our phone, you could even schedule periodic reviews and send us an alert when we lower a specific level.The meter in question does not use any type of chemical component, hence its durability, and will only need an initial blood extraction to make the appropriate calibrations.
It is at the University of Swansea, in the Faculty of Medicine, where they are testing with about 50 patients who generally are happy with the results and experience.However, from there they claim that it is not logical to think about marketing for about 5 years, so we will have to wait a little.At that time, they will be used to study the results even more and optimize the design as much as possible
