Wearable Technologies for Glucose Monitoring

Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus, it has become of utmost importance for wearable technologies for glucose monitoring to be introduced in different contexts. While there is a high number of research on noninvasive techniques for glucose monitoring of diabetes mellitus, there is a shortage of studies discussing the publication trend of wearable technologies that support glucose monitoring. The primary purpose of this chapter was to conduct a Systematic Mapping Study of publication trends relating to wearable technologies for glucose monitoring. This study adopted a Systematic Mapping Study approach in identifying relevant papers for analysis. Articles were identified from relevant databases including IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect and Scopus. A total of 29 papers met the inclusion criteria. The findings of this study are expected to inform health informatics experts and academics on the current research and publication trends in wearable technologies for glucose monitoring.
