ISDI Case Study. Developing a NIR custom sensor for non-invasive glucose monitoring using Raman spectroscopy

ISDI were approached by RSP Systems to undertake a custom design for a near-infrared (NIR) sensor for their Touch Glucose Monitoring™ products. This sensor, initially targeted for a small desktop system, will be used in a smartwatch-style device for non-invasive blood analysis based on Raman spectroscopy, eliminating the need to take frequent blood readings via finger-prick tests or patches.

Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy, which is now a vital tool in life sciences and materials analysis, it was an insight by a scientist who spent his entire professional life in his home country India. Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman had been investigating how light interacts with materials at the molecular level and hypothesised that light could be scattered by materials in such a way that the properties of the light are changed.
