This is particularly important for individuals who suffer from diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes. Traditional self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices require the user to prick their finger and extract a blood drop to measure the blood glucose based on chemical reactions with the blood. Unlike traditional glucometer devices, non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring (NICGM) devices aim to solve these issues by consistently monitoring users’ blood glucose levels (BGL) and without invasively acquiring a sample. This Master Thesis aims to investigate the feasibility of a novel approach to NICGM via the use of off-the-shelf wearable sensors and the integration of learning-based models (i.e., machine learning). Several sensors were purchased to generate our own dataset with an increased feature set for studying possible relationships between glucose and non-invasive biometric measurements. Two datasets were collected for this study: (1) the OhioT1DM dataset, which is a publicly available dataset that can be obtained by contacting Ohio University; and (2) the UofM dataset, which was created by this research team. Both the Ohio dataset and our UofM dataset are passed through a machine learning pipeline that tests several models to determine whether the features are sufficient for predicting blood glucose concentrations. While preliminary results seem optimistic, a larger dataset is required to make conclusions about the feasibility of this approach. .
