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.Keywords

The main concept of our projectis to survey our nearby areas and to find and treat patients having warts, which is caused by the infection which is also known as human papilloma virus infection. So we are providing a confidential discussion with the patient which will of course be between the patient, us and our guide Dr. Vasukidevi. The information given by them would not be shared or disclosed to anyone else.
And basically we will be working on the preparation of medicine which is of course a herbal one to treat them without any invasive or incision in their body. As it is herbal cure it would not have any side effects too. There are various natural substances that can be used for this herbal cure like curcumin, aloe Vera, apple cider, castor oil seeds, turmeric and many of these. Therefore, we are expecting some good results in future in our perspectives in these herbal curing field as we are also the one to support it.

Image processing techniques is been applied to process of imaging to obtain a more suitable output image for certain specific applications. Image processing improves the interpretability of an image for a human viewer. Visible quality of an image is enhanced by varying brightness, contrast, & histogram equalization. The analysis of image from tissues is very important for the detection of abnormalities. The images from abnormal regions are processed for distinguishing normal and abnormal regions. Commonly used method for analysis of medical images are based on software algorithm and the image enhancement algorithm with field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) implemented in hardware is a high performance. The image processing uses MATLABsimulator for processing. The proposed system of fundus image for detecting fluid filled abnormal regions of retina. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated1.Keywords

A light activated switch for persons to operate switch-controlled computer software or other communication device has been developed. A light emitting diode is attached to the user’s forehead. An array of photo transistors is mounted at a fixed position from the body. It requires a small but controllable motion to activate the switch by aiming the LED beam at the target area of the receiver. The false activation due to uncontrollable motion will be a problem associated with cerebral palsy. The LED in the transmitter is driven by oscillator at 1 kHz and the band pass filter which is in receiver is tuned at that frequency1. The level of received is detected by an amplitude demodulator once the signal is filtered. When the signals amplitude reach’s the threshold, a one short timer is triggered which then latches the switch for predetermined period. The system was tested by an 8 year old child and has demonstrated a satisfactory result. The sensivity and specificity are important factors for reliable operation of the light activated switch associated with the cerebral palsy.6Keywords

Sleepiness either by Drowsy or Alcoholic is the main cursory factor for road accident and daytime malfunction. Especially, distinguishing driver’s laziness could capture drivers from impacts brought about by lazy driving. This paper point is to permit the dependable sign for identifying driver frumpiness dependent on the infrared sensors. In this paper we connected IR sensors which measure the beats every minutes (BPM) inconstancy of the driver which indicates tiredness of the subject. The target of this task is to plan and advancement of inbuilt IR sensor inside directing wheel of the vehicles. This laziness discovery framework is savvy and increasingly precise to lessen the episode of street mishap.Keywords

Euphorbia hirta is a a medicinal plant which is been widely used from olden days as a herbal medicine for various purposes for mankind. Our country is known for its medical and Ayurvedic treatments. Various parts of the plant is been used for various uses, and here the leaves are been used for the treatment of warts and skin diseases. Questionnaire was prepared and the feedback was collected before the usage of this medicinal plant. The latex or the sap of the plant was collected from Euphorbia hirta and it has been used for the treatment. After the completion of the treatment again questionnaire was given and the feedback was collected for the group of people. This research describes about the medicinal properties, the days of treatment, the feedback and the other important aspects of Euphorbia hirta. The research enlightens on how efficient the leaf extracts of Euphorbia hirta totally irradiated the warts and the fungal diseases totally without any pain and side effects. Moreover, the availability of the leaves are abundant and easily available, hence economical. There are many medicinal plants around us like this each having its own chemical composition which can be used in our daily life without any side effects instead of going for synthetic drugs.
