Novosibirsk State Technical University has launched a project to create a device that detects sugar levels in the body without puncturing the skin, and has created a cross-platform program that allows you to quickly obtain the results of glucose measurements.
Alexander Kashtanov, a graduate student at the Department of Automation at NSTU-NETI, has developed software for a device that allows noninvasively determining sugar levels in the human body. The glucose meter consists of a graphene sensor, a measuring circuit and a microcontroller, which is located inside the case, is glued to the back and after a few minutes determines the amount of sugar in the sweat compartments.
According to the developer, the key difference of the project is the use of laser—induced graphene (LIG) electrodes operating on an electrochemical principle. In addition, a significant part of the research is devoted to the development of an information and measurement system, software for data processing and evaluating clinical accuracy using Clark grids.
The development of the postgraduate student of the Department of Automation is based on the construction of a complete measuring system with an eye to metrological justification. A fully functional device that will allow you to measure the amount of sugar even in a calm state is in the process of assembly, it is planned to be manufactured in 8 months. Software written in react native and C Sharp using the Avalonia framework has already received a certificate of state registration of the computer program.
"The main advantage of our program is cross—platform compatibility. A special calibration algorithm, the ability to work on PCs and smartphones with different operating systems — all so that the user can quickly and without any special technical limitations obtain the result of the analysis," said Alexander Kashtanov.
Earlier, researchers at NSTU-NETI, in partnership with the Federal Center for Neurosurgery, began developing a comprehensive computer model of the brain, the so-called digital twin. The goal of the project is to create a virtual platform that will allow doctors to test various surgical intervention scenarios in a secure digital environment.
