Abstract
Analyte sensing and response methods include using a non-invasive analyte sensor to detect at least one analyte in a medium. The sensor uses decoupled transmit and receive elements or antennas to transmit a signal, and to receive a response to the signal transmitted into the medium. An action is determined based on the detection of the analyte, which can affect a property of the analyte or the medium, and the action is automatically carried out. The action can be increasing or decreasing flow from a source of the analyte, increasing or decreasing flow of a chemical compound interacting with the analyte, or modifying a temperature of the medium. An example of the action is controlling an insulin pump, where the analyte is glucose.
