15 ECTS POINTS MASTER’S PROJECT IN EMBEDDED VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM

Bloodless Glucose Measurement

Introduction

This project is about making a biosensor for bloodless glucose measurement. People with diabetes measure the blood glucose level several times each day using a lancet to get a drop of blood on a test strip.

Figure 1. Example of standard blood glucose measurement

Non-invasive techniques can be based on IR- or NIR measurements, often in combination with several measurements.

Objectives

The objective of this project is to use the infrared spectroscopy equipment at the university to demonstrate the functionality of blood glucose measurements.

To achieve this, the student must also demonstrate understanding both of the biological aspects and the physical aspects of the measurement.

Tasks

1. Literature study of different techniques for bloodless glucose measurements

2. Inventory of different available systems that are presented on the webb. Comparison on their relative assumed prestanda.

3. Building of a demonstrator using available equipment at the university optical lab.

4. Written report.
