Abstract: Data about concentration of one or more types of molecules present within a human body are determined noninvasively using radio frequency signals. Signals at several different frequencies at very low power levels are emitted using an antenna mounted to a wearable device. The antenna includes nested elements of different sizes. Operating values, such as changes to the impedance of the antenna, are associated with the concentration of one or more types molecules within the user. Concentrations at different depths may be measured by using different sets of the nested elements at different times. Operating values at those times are measured and used to determine information indicative of concentration of the molecules. During use, a long axis of the antenna may be aligned with a long axis of a user's arm.
