Metabo-RAY
Metabo-RAY is a proprietary algorithm that enables blood glucose estimation on smart devices. This technique utilizes photoplethysmography (PPG) data for oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin, which is already used in SpO₂ measurements. Hamamatsu has discovered that the phase delay between oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin correlates well with blood glucose levels. We expect that measuring changes in blood glucose levels using smart devices will play an important role in wellness tracking.
