Researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a system that uses Google's Soli radar-based gesture tracker to monitor glucose levels in a solution with an accuracy that's 85% that of traditional analysis. The researchers will now look to improve the result when measuring glucose through human skin and is working with Infineon – co-developer of Soli – to reduce the cost and power-consumption of the radar. "We are excited about this new technology because it allows us to measure blood sugar directly on our skin.

The researchers will now look to improve the result when measuring glucose through human skin and is working with Infineon – co-developer of Soli – to reduce the cost and power-consumption of the radar. The aim is to develop a non-invasive wearable device within five years, said George Shaker, engineering professor at the university.
