Abstract:
Disclosed is a biosensor. The biosensor comprises: an electrode; and a polymer structure disposed on the electrode and formed of poly-5,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene-3-carboxylic acid (pTTCA), wherein an enzyme is present in a state of covalently binding with pTTCA inside the polymer structure.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for blood glucose measurement are provided. A first glucose concentration in a body fluid of a user is detected based on a first measurement interval. A first blood glucose level of the user is determined based on the first glucose concentration. A glucose concentration measurement interval is changed from the first measurement interval to a second measurement interval according to an occurrence of an event. A second glucose concentration in the body fluid is detected based on the second measurement interval. A second blood glucose level of the user is determined based on the second glucose concentration.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing blood sugar care service are provided. The method includes obtaining blood sugar information of a user, when the blood sugar information is obtained for a predetermined time unit, generating a blood sugar profile based on the blood sugar information obtained during the predetermined time unit, comparing the generated blood sugar profile and a previously generated blood sugar profile, setting a blood sugar profile proximate to a normal blood sugar range as a target profile, and providing a state of blood sugar of the user based on the set target profile, thereby providing a customized blood sugar care state suitable to each user in consideration of the state of blood sugar of individuals.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a biosensor needle including a light-transmissive main body having a width that is less than a length so as to be inserted into a testee, and a plurality of metal particles provided at at least a part of the main body and generating a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of light incident through the main body.
Abstract:
A method of and an apparatus for measuring biometric information are provided. The method includes receiving an image of a biosensor including a reagent pad on which a sample is collected, and comparing brightness information of a reacting region of the reagent pad in the received image with reference brightness information in the received image to determine a value of a reagent reaction between the reagent pad and the sample.
Abstract:
Provided is an electron mediator system, which may include a first transition metal complex and a second transition metal complex, wherein a working potential of the electron mediator system may be substantially the same as a molar average of a working potential of the first transition metal complex and a working potential of the second transition metal complex.
Abstract:
A sensor strip cartridge and a biometric information measuring method and apparatus using the same are provided. The biometric information measuring apparatus includes a cartridge accommodator configured to accommodate a sensor strip cartridge including at least one sensor strip, a cartridge information reader configured to read cartridge information about the sensor strip cartridge from the sensor strip cartridge, a controller configured to receive biometric information through the sensor strip, and correct the received biometric information by using a biometric information correction reference corresponding to the cartridge information, and an outputter configured to output the corrected biometric information.
