![]() ![]() Our lab is using electrochemistry to build a non-invasive sensor that would measure a person’s blood glucose levels immediately by sensing the ketones in the sweat worn like a watch, the sensor would measure the sweat that forms on the inside wrist, a less intrusive and easier process than current systems allow. People with diabetes need to check their blood sugar and they should do it several times a day the challenge is the current method for monitoring diabetic status is intrusive and involves pricking fingers or inserting a reusable senor with a tiny needle in the back of the arm or abdomen. I work with a graduate student in our lab, building a non-invasive blood glucose sensor with the goal of positively aiding the way people manage their diabetes and make it easier, less invasive, and cheaper to maintain baseline health. Please describe your research: I research new methods in non-invasive glucose monitoring. ![]() ![]() What is your degree program and expected graduate date?
