Abstract
Measurement of biological metabolites, such as glucose and lactate are important in both healthcare and athletic settings. Research is currently being conducted on remote sensing approaches to these metabolites, many of which use on-body antenna or resonator circuits that measure changes in resonant frequencies to determine the concentrations of the metabolite. However, these approaches use conventional laboratory VNAs, which are impractical for on-body measurement of moving subjects due to their size. A software program was developed for a small handheld vector network analyzer (NanoVNA) that allows it to be attached to a single-board computer and attached to the subject being measured. This permits the subject to move freely while measurements are wirelessly transmitted to a base station where they can be further analyzed.
