Abstract :
In the last years attempts to develop a non-invasive glucose system based on the glucose levels in sweat have been studied. In this paper, 32 metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors operating at different temperatures have been used to develop a multisensor olfactory system that allows to study the glucose levels in sweat. In order to develop repeatable experiments, artificial sweat at different glucose concentrations were developed in the laboratory. The obtained results suggest high viability of the approach. Although, the sensitivity of the sensors system needs to be improved.
