Medicines are an important part of modern health care system. The market for pharmaceutical medicines runs in billions of dollars a year. Butrecently a new problematic phenomenon has risen which is termed as "Poor Medication Adherence". In simple terms it refers to improper intake of medicines as prescribed by doctor. Study shows that the reason for it is forgetfulness. So the instrument devised here is to address the problem by building a wearable non invasive device which can alert the patient in time. Since the device is in its initial stage so it was built for only glucose detection to control insulin intake by diabetic patients. Near Infra Red light when passes through a tissue its absorbance is changed due to interaction with glucose molecules present. By detecting the level of glucose one can determine the insulin requirement of the patient. Glucose is one of the important biochemical produced in the process of metabolism in human body. But also a proper level of glucose amount will ensure the health of a human. Insulin regulates the amount of glucose level to be maintained in the human body.

Abstract


Medicines are an important part of modern health care system. The market for pharmaceutical medicines runs in billions of dollars a year. Butrecently a new problematic phenomenon has risen which is termed as "Poor Medication Adherence". In simple terms it refers to improper intake of medicines as prescribed by doctor. Study shows that the reason for it is forgetfulness. So the instrument devised here is to address the problem by building a wearable non invasive device which can alert the patient in time. Since the device is in its initial stage so it was built for only glucose detection to control insulin intake by diabetic patients. Near Infra Red light when passes through a tissue its absorbance is changed due to interaction with glucose molecules present. By detecting the level of glucose one can determine the insulin requirement of the patient. Glucose is one of the important biochemical produced in the process of metabolism in human body. But also a proper level of glucose amount will ensure the health of a human. Insulin regulates the amount of glucose level to be maintained in the human body.
