Abstract

The conventional approach of tracking blood sugar levels is invasive, uncomfortable, expensive, and time-consuming, and the number of people diagnosed with diabetes is steadily rising throughout the world. The need for frequent and continuous non-invasive glucose monitoring has been brought to light by complications caused by abnormal blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Patients now undergoing blood glucose monitoring (BGM) have to go through the pain and risk of infection associated with finger pricks to get blood samples, making the process invasive. This study suggests a laser-based BGM to solve these problems. Our proposed approach makes use of 650 nm visible red laser light for BGM as this wavelength is more able to pass through human tissue. The medical kit also includes a number of other sensors that record vital indicators, such as monitors for blood pressure and pulse. Data is collected from several sensors and sent to the central processing unit (CPU) via the photodiode. The microprocessor board gathers data, which is shown on the LCD panel, before being forwarded to the IoT module. After the data is sent to the cloud using the IoT module, the primary care physician and the patient's legal guardians may evaluate it. Using the collected patient health data, it may be feasible to detect advanced health problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
