Thank you for your support!

Thanks for your comment! The ear provides an excellent alternative to the wrist when it comes to temperature stability, constant pressure between sensor and skin and the relatively cleaner signal given that in general the head moves less than our wrists.

Thank you for your comment! The main idea is to integrate this sensor with earbuds or hearing aids, since these are already widely used.

I'm very happy to share my latest publication with Prof. Danilo Mandic, "An In-Ear PPG-Based Blood Glucose Monitor: A Proof-of-Concept Study"!

This research explores, for the first time, the ear canal as a potential site for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. The in-ear sensor uses photoplethysmography (PPG) in combination with machine learning to estimate blood glucose levels without the need for painful fingersticks or invasive devices.

My aim is to make diabetes management easier, more convenient, and less expensive for millions of people around the world, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and enhanced treatment of diabetes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this new approach to blood glucose monitoring. Let's discuss!
