- th0ma5 14y ago:( unfortunately might not be entirely applicable to this problem... unless some measure of blood density and hence probably glucose mix... but at least at this layer of filtering and reasoning, it appears to be about minute amounts of motion... is there something about motion that could denote glucose? trembling maybe? maybe a score could be derived using something that borrows from this technique, but you'd have to put more into it than it seems this technique specifically shows.
- psb 14y agoI was thinking more skin color or possibly changes in the eye (if I remember right eyes get swollen when blood sugar is high) Honestly, I don't know if there are enough outwardly visible changes for this to even be possible. But there's a lot of money out there waiting on the person who can figure out a way to use a cell phone do something like this.
- nhergert 14y agoGood idea, but apparently much money has been spent on it already. Excellent article on the physics of all things non-invasive (but especially glucose): http://www.mendosa.com/noninvasive_glucose.pdf http://www.mendosa.com/noninvasive_glucose.pdf
