Abstract

The never-ending list of diseases is growing each day. It has become important for us to monitor our health condition regularly as it not only helps us to prevent diseases but also detect diseases which do not have any visible symptoms. One such main disease is diabetes which is a real test for the current century. It is a disease which is non-infectious and non-transmissible and is a major contributor to stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, vascular disease and heart disease. It's a rapidly-growing condition, approximately 500 million people around the world, including Fifty million Indians, are diabetes victims. The conventional method of measuring blood glucose is uncomfortable and painful as individuals need to poke their finger to draw blood regularly for calculating glucose concentration. Non-invasive blood glucose measurement can diminish this pain and also reduce the cost of measurement as non-invasive glucometer does not need fresh testing strips for each test. In the proposed project, we have designed a system that can measure the blood glucose level with the help of NIR spectroscopy. A NIR Led is used to pass IR radiations into the finger, the intensity of this radiation depends on glucose concentration in the blood. The IR light passes through the finger, after amplification and filtering we get output voltage signals. Using regression analysis, the unknown glucose value is determined from the unknown voltage level. It then communicates the detected blood glucose level into the smartphone through the wireless channel for output monitoring. Along with this infrared temperature monitoring unit and heart rate monitoring units have also been employed to help achieve the monitoring of different health parameters in the same system.
