Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4423663A1] A process and device are disclosed for sensing the thermal interaction between the human body and the disclosed device. The thus obtained physical measurement data are electronically converted and may be associated in an appropriate manner to concentrations of certain components of human blood determined in an unambiguous manner, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, etc., in particular glucose. The device has at least one heat measurement unit and electronic control, regulation, evaluation and output units. The device also allows temperature measurements with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The process is non-invasive and is particularly suitable for determining without contact the glucose concentration in parts of the human body, in particular human blood.
