DESCRIPTION:Microwave Sensors for Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring\n\nDiabet
 es is a major public health challenge in Egypt\, with a rising prevalence 
 that places a significant burden on healthcare systems and individuals. Fr
 equent blood glucose monitoring is essential for effective diabetes manage
 ment\, yet traditional glucometers rely on invasive finger-prick tests\, w
 hich can be painful\, inconvenient\, and costly over time. Microwave sensi
 ng technology presents a promising alternative by enabling non-invasive\, 
 continuous glucose level estimation based on the dielectric properties of 
 human tissue. This workshop\, held as part of the IEEE Antennas and Propag
 ation Society (APS) event in Egypt\, will explore the latest advancements 
 in microwave-based glucose monitoring\, including sensor design\, signal p
 rocessing techniques\, and calibration methods. Experts will discuss the p
 otential of this technology to reduce costs\, improve patient compliance\,
  and enhance diabetes management. Additionally\, the workshop will address
  challenges related to accuracy\, clinical validation\, and integration wi
 th wearable devices\, fostering collaboration between researchers\, health
 care professionals\, and industry leaders to advance accessible and afford
 able glucose monitoring solutions.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dalia Elsheakh\n\nS
