Non-Invasive Metabolic Energy Tracker Study

Health and Wellness

The balance between energy intake through food and energy expenditure through physical activity is essential for maintaining a healthy body weight and preventing diseases. Being able to self-monitor metabolic energy levels such as glucose, ketone, or lactate may encourage healthy choices; however, the current methods of measurements involve painful finger prick and costly consumables.

We have designed a non-invasive metabolic energy monitoring sensor that can measure various metabolites in the body. In this study, we aim to create AI algorithms that will allow the sensors to accurately predict levels of various metabolites to help develop a novel wearable technology for health and wellness in the future.
