GluBand

 

Project Name: GluBand  

 

Device: Prototype of wristband for glucose monitoring and exercise tracking

 

Purpose: Emporing diabetics in order to excercise and take care their glucose level in daily basis 

 

Project Goals: Develop a comfortable wearable tracker such as the patient can control the glucose levels and can realize the importance of body exercise

 

Features: 

• Bluetooth 4.0 communication

• Built-in rechargeable battery

• Micro-USB for data or charging purposes

• LED indicators

• Accelerometer 3-Axis

• Glucose Sensor

 

Basic Use:  

People who are diabetics wear that device and they can have direct feedback about their glucose levels non-invasively. Also, they are able to see the glucose level during the week on their smartphone using a corresponding application. If a patient wear the GluBand daily, he is able to monitor the activities that they improve his health and keep the glucose levels under safe limits. Finally, in a emergency case, when the glucose levels are very high and the pedometer senses a fall down activity, it is capable to notify people near by, broadcasting a iBeacon message informing about the patient's medical issue and providing an emergency phone number to call for help.

 

Benefits:

• Continuesly glucose tracking

• Activity tracker

• Useful graphs on smartphone app easy to compare the glucose level in correspondence with activity

• Emergency message

​

Other uses:

We can extend the purpose of this project adding a small OLED screen and real time functions, converting that device to a smart watch for diabetics. In that case the patient could have immidiate feedback for every parameter of diabete without the need of smartphone connection.
