DiaMonTech Develops Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitor That Uses M-IR Lasers

More than 400 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. For them, the ability to measure blood glucose levels non-invasively (without piercing the skin) would be an enormous relief. Thanks to a patented development by DiaMonTech AG, this dream could soon come true for many people. The technology, which uses an infrared quantum cascade laser, is already available as a desktop device. But a smartphonesized instrument is soon to follow. In order to achieve this miniaturization without loss of quality, it is necessary to detect even minute changes in the laser beam. DiaMonTech used the Ophir Pyrocam to measure and characterize all their laser developments. For more information, download the full case study.
