OPTICAL BASED NON INVASIVE GLUCOMETER WITH IOT

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) nicknamed as sugar is becoming one of incurable and critical challenge to medical field. Serious illness such as premature mortality even cause of death, which can be identified by continuous monitoring from a remote location. The traditional and conventional method such as finger pricking's demerits such as pain and damage to tissues that cause infection. Such type of infections can be overcome by non-invasive technique. The objective of this paper is to monitor glucose level using non-invasive technique by optical and IoT technology. The proposed sensor circuit consists of IR LED's of wavelength 650–2500nm for optical blood glucose measurement and NIR photodiodes (InGaAs) to receive the reflected light from body parts to determine the glucose level. The Beer-Lambert law is used for signal processing along with WIFI based IoT real time information transmission. The project is implemented using Arduino IDE for finding the performance matrix of the system as well as various analytical studies. With the rapid development of wearable technology and transdermal biosensors, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring will become more efficient, affordable, robust, and more competitive on the market.
