Abstract
The high number of people suffering from diabetes mellitus makes the demand for measuring devices for blood glucose levels increasing. The progress of blood glucose measuring devices from day to day continues to develop. There are many sensors that can be used to monitor blood glucose levels in a wearable, non-invasive and continuous manner. However, the objective of the blood glucose level detector cannot be achieved in certain circumstances. Some of the existing glucose monitor devices are expensive, carry risks and prolonged use of sensors may cause skin irritation. For that reason, this project aims to design a device that is able to noninvasively monitor blood-glucose using infrared sensor, to perform simulation analysis on the viability of infrared sensor to non-invasively measure blood glucose and to develop the complete device and evaluate the performance. In Final Year Project 1, a methodology was conducted by identifying the problems and objectives, analize data, identify literature review, discuss experiment setup, simulation study, conclusion and recommendation and also result. A simulation analysis experiment was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Therefore, an experiment using the IR sensor was conducted for analysis. However, the results of this research still need to be continued to find out the performance of the sensor developed to predict the actual blood glucose level for each person. In this Final Year Project 2, a complete device and evaluation of the performance has been conducted using IR sensor. The results and discussion were shown in this report. There are some factors influencing the results like different Body Mass Index, ages and epidermal thickness were discussed in this Final Year Project 2. Future projects might look into the improvement of the accuracy and precision of the device and increase more understanding of the project in terms of medical studies.
