Principle of a multi-sensing, multi-location approach. (A), i, the system is composed of two sensors targeting two on-body locations. Additional environmental and physiological sensors are added to the system to calibrate the temperature, humidity, sweat, and motion effects. ii, all these sensors are worn within the sock apparatus. iii, the system provides the glucose levels in mg/dl using a machine learning algorithm. (B) Targeted blood vessels to provide information about the blood dielectric properties. The reflected EM waves are monitored and correlated to the blood glucose variation. (C) Top sensing layer of the flexible leg sensor prototype. (D) The layer-by-layer layout of the integrated leg sensors where the bottom layer is composed of copper, the middle layer is a PET substrate and the top layer is a copper layer.
