Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for acquiring a spectrum based on a vein pattern. The spectrum acquisition apparatus may include a spectroscope configured to emit light onto a user's skin and receive light reflected or scattered from the skin, a vein pattern recognizer configured to recognize a vein pattern of a body area at which the spectroscope is located, and a spectroscope controller configured to control the spectroscope based on a vein pattern recognition result to acquire a skin spectrum of a body area of interest.
Abstract:
An optical sensor and a method of operating the optical sensor are provided. The optical sensor includes a light source configured to emit a light, and a path adjuster configured to adjust a traveling path of the light to reflect the light at a first time, and allow the light to pass through the path adjuster at a second time. The optical sensor further includes a light receiver configured to receive a reference light among the reflected light, and receive, among the light passing through the path adjuster, a measurement light related to a target material.
Abstract:
A method and device for measuring a biological variable are provided. The method of measuring the biological variable may include detecting an infrared signal which is irradiated toward a body part and is reflected therefrom, extracting spectrum data from the detected infrared signal, obtaining intensity data corresponding to a preset frequency from the extracted spectrum data, obtaining a biological information-measuring model by performing multiple linear regression (MLR) on the obtained data, and measuring a biological signal of the body part by using the obtained biological information-measuring model.
Abstract:
An attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopic analysis apparatus includes an ATR prism including: an upper surface that contacts a specimen, a lower surface facing the upper surface, a first surface that is slanted and connected to the upper surface and the lower surface, and a second surface that is slanted and connected to the upper surface and the lower surface and facing the first surface; a light source configured to emit a light towards the first surface of the ATR prism; a light receiver that is provided to face the lower surface of the ATR prism and configured to receive the light that is diffusely reflected and output from the lower surface and output an electrical signal based on the received light; and a computation processor configured to calculate a contact area of the specimen with the upper surface of the ATR prism in response to the electrical signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a non-invasive liver function testing apparatus and method. The non-invasive liver function testing apparatus includes a light source configured to irradiate light onto an object, a light detector configured to detect information about light reflected from the object, a raw data extractor configured to extract raw data, associated with at least one target material constituting the object, from the information detected by the light detector, and a data processor configured to extract liver function-related information, including a correlation with the at least one target material, from the raw data.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus for noninvasively measuring a bio-analyte and a method of noninvasively measuring a bio-analyte. The apparatus may include a sensor configured to obtain information of a first material from a first body part of a subject, and a processor configured to obtain information about a second material in a second body part of the subject based on a correlation between the first material and the second material and the information of the first material.
