摘要： An apparatus and method of use for enabling a NAM device are provided. The NAM device is configured to authenticate its use each time a measurement is requested. The operation of the NAM device is governed by a refillable media card that tracks a predetermined number of authorized uses. The NAM device confirms that remaining authorized uses are available on the refillable media card. In addition to tracking the number of authorized uses of the NAM device, the media card may also store the results of the measurements for tracking by a tracking server. When the number of authorized uses on the media card is depleted, the media card may be refilled by completing a refill transaction over a wired or wireless communication network. Alternatively, the media card may be refilled at a kiosk station or a new media card may be obtained for use with the NAM device.

摘要： A method of non-invasively measuring the presence, absence, or concentration of one or more analytes in a tissue of a subject includes exposing at least a portion of a tissue of the subject to electromagnetic radiation; obtaining electromagnetic radiation measurement data of electromagnetic radiation from the tissue; using a mathematical transformation to filter or smooth the electromagnetic radiation measurement data; and determining the presence, absence, or concentration of one or more analytes by determining a radiation signature of the filtered or smoothed electromagnetic radiation measurement data; correlating the radiation signature of the filtered or smoothed electromagnetic radiation measurement data with the presence, absence, or concentration of one or more analytes to determine the presence, absence, or concentration of one or more analytes in the subject.

摘要： The present invention is related to non-invasive methods and instruments to detect the level of analyte concentrations in the tissue of a subject by measuring electromagnetic radiation signatures from the subject's conjunctiva. The spectra of mid-infrared radiation emitted from a subject's body are altered corresponding to the concentration of various compounds within the radiating tissue. In one aspect of the invention, an instrument floods the conjunctiva of the subject with electromagnetic radiation in the mid-infrared range and measures analyte concentrations based on mid-infrared radiation reflected back to the instrument.
