Abstract
A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood by pricking a finger to draw blood as the sample using a sharp needle. However, diabetic patient has quite slow level in wound healing process which causes their fingers constantly in a state of wounded and exposed to bacteria. More importantly, a two main factor for the weakness of invasive technique is a painful process and cost often because constant monitoring of glucose level is very expensive. The main objective of this project is to design and develop a non-invasive optical measuring technique to measure body glucose level automatically and painless by using laser source. The invention attempts to address the previously mentioned concerned using smartphone, laser pointer, and image processing method to automatically determine measurement of the sample under experiment. A laser pointer is used to illuminate a urine sample and the light scattered is recorded using a smartphone. The image is then analysed using a Matlab software to determine the refractive index of the urine sample. By mapping the refractive index, one is able to correlate it with the measurement taken using a glucometer. Hence, this allows continuous measurement of glucose level of diabetic patients. The cost of developed device was located in considerable price region. However, some features of the system are needed further improvement.
