1. A method for providing notification regarding one or more analytes, comprising:
non-invasively detecting the one or more analytes, wherein non-invasively detecting the one or more analytes comprises:
generating a transmit signal having a frequency that falls within a range of between about 10 kHz to about 100 GHz;
transmitting the transmit signal into a target containing at least one analyte of interest from at least one transmit element, the at least one transmit element has parallel side edges, a first end, and a second end, the first and second ends have a first geometry; and
using at least one receive element to detect a response resulting from transmitting the transmit signal by the at least one transmit element into the target containing the at least one analyte of interest, the at least one receive element has parallel side edges, a first end, and a second end, and the first end and the second end of the at least one receive element have a second geometry that differs from the first geometry;
determining a presence or an amount of each of the one or more analytes based on the response;
determining a notification to present based on the presence or amount of at least one of the one or more analytes and notification criteria using a processor; and
sending an instruction directing presentation of the notification.
