1. Research Background and Significance

1.1 Limitations of Current CGM

Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems face the following challenges:

  • Invasive: Skin damage, 14-day replacement
  • High cost: Over $1,500/year
  • Psychological resistance: Needle insertion, wearing discomfort

1.2 Advantages of PPG

PPG offers revolutionary benefits:

  • Completely non-invasive: Skin surface only
  • Continuous measurement: 24/7
  • Low cost: Under $100
  • Existing device utilization: Applicable to all commercial smartwatches with temperature sensors via software update

2. Technical Breakthrough

2.1 9-Stage Correction Process (All interpretable linear formulas)

The core of this technology is a 9-stage correction process that removes environmental and physiological factors, enabling healthy-level accuracy even in patients with vascular response abnormalities.

  1. Contact normalization: Removes reattachment contact variations
  2. Reverse phase correction: Removes waveform distortion during rapid glucose changes
  3. Temperature correction: Removes sweat/environmental temperature fluctuations
  4. Start point exclusion: Removes segment start instability
  5. Arterial stiffness correction: Normalizes pulse wave propagation delay
  6. PAD correction: Removes peripheral artery disease effects
  7. Raynaud's correction: Removes vasospasm cycles
  8. Venous return correction: Removes venous valve insufficiency effects
  9. Temporal CV validation: Prevents overestimation from environmental changes

★ All 9 stages use physics/physiology interpretable linear formulas
No black-box AI used
