Abstract

Materials and methods A prototype with four main components has been prepared: an Arduino Mega 2560 with a microcontroller board to prototype the device hardware and program components, an LCD display with integrated resistive touchscreen, used to make the interaction with the user, a buzzer tone generator for audible alert and AA batteries as a power source. Based on the Tamagotchi’s method of use, toy which creates a virtual pet, a virtual pet has been created called “Togushi” for user interaction.

Highlights

  • Diabetes mellitus is considered an ongoing epidemic

  • Studies link poor adherence to treatment and encourage the development and implementation of technologies related to primary care of the disease

  • The prototype is a great aid for the monitoring of patients with type 2 diabetes through health education
