Washington Patent of the Month – August 2024

Know Labs, Inc., an R&D firm focused on non-invasive medical diagnostics, has developed a non-invasive analyte sensing and notification system, utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques. The system detects multiple analytes in the body, such as glucose, using radio and microwave frequency signals. Its innovative design features a decoupled antenna array, where the transmit and receive antennas have distinct geometries. This decoupling is key to improving accuracy, as it reduces interference and enhances the system’s ability to target specific analytes. Unlike traditional invasive methods, this technology offers a comfortable alternative, making it particularly valuable for continuous glucose monitoring. 

The system’s processor analyzes the signal responses and triggers notifications when analyte levels fall within specified thresholds. These notifications can be sent to external devices or integrated into the sensor itself, providing real-time alerts for users. This could revolutionize monitoring for conditions like diabetes, enabling users to manage their health without frequent invasive tests. By decoupling the antennas and optimizing signal transmission, Know Labs has overcome many challenges faced by previous non-invasive methods, positioning this invention as a potential game-changer in the field of biosensing.

Are you developing new technology for an existing application? Did you know your development work could be eligible for the R&D Tax Credit and you can receive up to 14% back on your expenses? Even if your development isn’t successful your work may still qualify for R&D credits (i.e. you don’t need to have a patent to qualify).
