ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and device for non-invasive body fluid sampling is provided. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the system includes a controller that controls the generation of ultrasound; an ultrasonic applicator that applies the ultrasound to an area of biological membrane; a receiver that contacts the area of biological membrane and receives body fluid through and out of the area of biological membrane; and a meter that interacts with the receiver and detects the presence of at least one analyte in the body fluid in the receiver. The receiver may include a membrane and a medium, such as a hydrogel, a fluid, or a liquid, that is contained in the membrane. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the steps of (1) identifying an area of biological membrane having a permeability level; (2) increasing the permeability level of the area of biological membrane; (3) contacting the area of biological membrane with a receiver; (4) extracting body fluid through and out of the area of biological membrane; (5) providing an external force to enhance the body fluid extraction; (6) collecting the body fluid in the receiver; (7) analyzing the collected body fluid for the presence of at least one analyte; and (8) providing the results of the step of analyzing the body fluid.
