Sensor de micro-ondas não-invasivo para monitoramento de índice glicêmico em pacientes diabéticos.

Abstract

The present research work proposes a sensor based in a structure with a hairpin resonator, for use in the detection of glucose concentration in solutions, to be applied in studies of glycemic index monitoring in diabetic patients. The sensor presents a high sensitivity for the transmission parameter in response for solutions concentration variation, with operation range from 850 MHz to 1,7 GHz, having a low cost, compact dimensions and high replicability. The work provides a contribution to the study of techniques in the determination of the glycemic index using resonators that operate in the microwave frequency range, and can be used in the research and development of devices for Diabetes treatment.
