RF Dielectric Spectroscopy
Proprietary radiofrequency (RF) sensor measures glucose levels using dielectric spectroscopy by rapidly scanning a large range of RF frequencies.
It records voltage values detected at each frequency to quantify, with trade-secret machine learning algorithms, real-time continuous blood glucose levels.
The same techniques apply to a range of organic and inorganic materials to form the Know Labs spectroscopic technology platform.
Blood Glucose is Our Priority
We are committed to making a difference in the lives of millions of people around the world.
Our journey begins with a focus on the nearly 550 million people living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and another 1 billion people with pre-diabetes.

3D Data Improves
Clinical Accuracy
RF dielectric sensor safely sweeps through the full tissue stack (interstitial fluid, capillary blood, venous blood, cellular glucose) to a depth of over 10 mm to collect high-resolution voltage data at high speed, whereas the microneedle sensor in traditional CGMs measure interstitial fluid as a proxy for blood glucose
-
Antenna Array emits and captures radio wave signals, generates the “Energy Field” into 3D “Tissue Stack”
-
RF Generator enables frequency sweeps in the microwave spectrum, from 300 MHz to 4,400 MHz, at various intervals, 1.5M data points collected per hour.
-
Six key parameters, customizable with each sweep: power, frequency range, frequency step, dwell time, antenna permutations = >30,000 combinations.
Delivering High-Resolution Data
The RF sensor exploits the dielectric properties of glucose, including its ability to store electrical energy in an electrical field (known as permittivity) through a voltage reading received after broadcasting each frequency.
In Vitro Glucose Solutions Readings
RF spectroscopy sensor based on dielectric permittivity measures different concentrations of glucose in solution
In Vivo Blood Glucose Readings
RF sensors apply the same principle to measure blood glucose levels over 3-hour test
