NONINVASIVE BLOOD GLUCOSE MEASURMENT USING MODULATED ULTRASOUND AND INFRARED LIGHT

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus has progressed as an important healthcare endemic of the contemporary world. The diabetic subject needs to monitor their Blood Glucose Level regularly for three to four times per day for circumventing the terminal stage medical complexities and expenses. The invasive device based blood glucose monitoring comprises painful procedures, mental agony, and infection liabilities and high cost per measurement. For all these reasons, at present a new noninvasive technique for blood glucose measurement is extremely demanding. In perspective of addressing the requirement for this necessity, the present thesis work objective is to validate our indigenously developed noninvasive technique for blood glucose measurement in the human subjects. The present thesis contains seven subsequent chapters as follows: Introduction; Literature Review;Concept, prototype fabrication, and methodology; Effect of glucose concentration on light transmission; Clinical investigation based results; Discussion; Conclusion and future recommendations
