MEMS-based microsystem for minimally invasive optical monitoring of blood glucose

Abstract

The minimally invasive optical method for directly monitoring of blood glucose has not only high measurement accuracy because of avoiding effects of absorption and scattering resulted from the skin tissue due to directly measure to blood sample, by contrast with noninvasive optical method, but also painlessness, minimum tissue trauma and little sample amount because of employing microneedles to sample the blood, by contrast to the tradition finger-prick method.
