摘要：
A device and method for non-invasively measuring analytes and physiological parameters by measuring terahertz radiation emitted though biological tissue. Terahertz pulses are emitted from a miniaturized quantum cascade laser to a fiber optic array into the wrist of the user. A corresponding sensor on the opposite side of the wrist receives the terahertz signals that have been modified by interacting with organic molecules. The data from the sensor is compiled and analyzed on a RAM chip and logic chip, where a program uses an algorithm to compare measurements to a library of existing measurements and topographic maps generated when the user first dons the device. Once the algorithm has parsed all the data points, a value, such as blood glucose level, appears on a display of the device. The device may be equipped with a gasket to reduce ambient light from contacting the sensor.
