Augmenting authenticity for non-invasive in vivo detection of random blood glucose with photoacoustic spectroscopy...

Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS) is a potential method for the noninvasive detection of blood glucose. However random blood glucose testing can help to diagnose diabetes at an early stage and is crucial for managing and preventing complications with diabetes. In order to improve the diagnosis, control, and treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, an appropriate approach of noninvasive random blood glucose is required for glucose monitoring. A polynomial kernel-based ridge regression is proposed in this paper to detect random blood glucose accurately using PAS. Additionally, we explored the impact of the biological parameter BMI on the regulation of blood glucose, as it serves as the primary source of energy for the body's cells. The kernel function plays a pivotal role in kernel ridge regression as it enables the algorithm to capture intricate non-linear associations between input and output variables. Using a Pulsed Laser source with a wavelength of 905 nm, a noninvasive portable device has been developed to collect the Photoacoustic (PA) signal from a finger. A collection of 105 individual random blood glucose samples was obtained and their accuracy was assessed using three metrics: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Difference (MAD), and Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD). The respective values for these metrics were found to be 10.94 (mg/dl), 10.15 (mg/dl), and 8.86%. The performance of the readings was evaluated through Clarke Error Grid Analysis and Bland Altman Plot, demonstrating that the obtained readings outperformed the previously reported state-of-the-art approaches. To conclude the proposed IoT-based PAS random blood glucose monitoring system using kernel-based ridge regression is reported for the first time with more accuracy.
