Abstract

See full text

In a non-invasive human metabolic condition measuring apparatus and method, a micro-light source emits an incident light having a wavelength from 329 nm to 473 nm to trigger a mitochondrial metabolite of a human mucosa tissue, and the metabolite is excited to generate a fluorescent signal having a wavelength from 405 nm to 572 nm, and the fluorescent signal is filtered by an optical filter, received by a micro receiver, and amplified by an amplification circuit sequentially, and then a filter circuit and an analog/digital conversion circuit of a microprocessing unit are provided for filtering and performing an analog/digital signal conversion respectively, so that the metabolite content can be calculated by the computation to provide human metabolic conditions, and a combination of micro components and circuits is used for miniaturizing the apparatus to provide a convenient carry of the apparatus.
