Abstract: A non-invasive analyte sensor includes a receive side with a superheterodyne circuit. The superheterodyne circuit include a mixer with an input that is electrically connected to a receive antenna, and a radio frequency generator connected to another input of the mixer and that is configured to generate a radio frequency signal. The mixer outputs a signal that is based on a frequency of a signal received by the receive antenna and the frequency of the signal generated by the radio frequency generator.

Abstract: Methods of using a system for real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels and other analyte levels to reduce the risk of surgical complications. The system includes an apparatus for generating radio frequency scanning data which includes a transmitter for transmitting radio waves below the skin surface of a person and a two-dimensional array of receive antennas for receiving the radio waves, including a portion of the transmitted radio waves that interact with a blood vessel of the person. The wave signal is compared to known standard waveforms, and similar waveforms are input into a machine learning algorithm to determine one or more health parameters of the person. The apparatus is used to collect glucose waveform data. A second apparatus is used to collect waveform data on another analyte. The glucose waveform is analyzed to determine the patient's blood glucose level. The system reports risks associated with the patient's glucose level.

Abstract: A system which includes an apparatus for generating radio frequency scanning data which includes a transmitter for transmitting radio waves below the skin surface of a person and a two-dimensional array of receive antennas for receiving the radio waves, including a reflected portion of the transmitted radio waves that is reflected from a blood vessel of the person.

Abstract: An analyte sensor for use in detecting an analyte in an in vitro sample via spectroscopic techniques using non-optical frequencies that are in the radio or microwave frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The analyte sensor uses at least one transmit antenna (which may also be referred to as a transmit element) that functions to transmit a signal in the radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum into the in vitro sample containing an analyte of interest, and at least one receive antenna (which may also be referred to as a receive element) that functions to detect a response resulting from transmission of the transmit signal by the transmit antenna into the sample. The data can then be analyzed to detect the presence of the analyte and/or determine a concentration of the analyte.
