Diseño e implementación de un sistema de monitoreo del nivel de glucosa utilizando técnica no invasiva.

Abstract

In the following work, a non-invasive glucose concentration monitoring system has been developed. It consists of a non-invasive glucose measurement device and an Android application. They are interconnected using an intermediary (localhost) via WiFi, which sends the information needed. The technique used in the device as measurement principle is the near-infrared spectroscopy and works in conjunction with the temperature value of the measurement zone, to make a correction in the glucose estimation. The measured data is received by the server, and then it is converted into glucose concentration using two neural networks: one considering temperature as an input, and the other without it. The designed Android application has two user levels: Doctor and Patient, that constitutes a first approach through predetermined messages between the user levels. Through the mobile application, the patient can start the measurement, view and store the measured result including a message for the doctor, in addition to reviewing the historic data recorded. Whereas, the doctor is able to review the patient's records, and add a preset message. The results of the system have been validated using criteria applied to in vitro glucose measurement systems.
