Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential for the management of diabetes and the development of appropriate treatment protocols. The conventional blood glucose (BG) testing have an intrusive technique to prick the finger and it can be uncomfortable when it is a regular practice. Intrusive procedures, such as fingerstick testing has negatively influencing patient adherence. Diabetic patients now have an exceptional improvement in their quality of life with the development of cutting-edge sensors and healthcare technologies. intensive care unit (ICU) and pregnant women also have facing challenges including hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The worldwide diabetic rate has incited to develop a wearable and accurate non-invasive blood glucose monitoring system. This research developed an Internet of Things (IoT) - enabled wearable blood glucose monitoring (iGM) system to transform diabetes care and enhance the quality of life. The TTGOT-ESP32 IoT platform with a red and near-infrared (R-NIR) spectral range for blood glucose measurement has integrated into this wearable device. The primary objective of this gadget is to provide optimal comfort for the patients while delivering a smooth monitoring experience. The iGM gadget is 98.82 % accuracy when used after 10 hours of fasting and 98.04 % accuracy after 2 hours of breakfast. The primary objective points of the research were continuous monitoring, decreased risk of infection, and improved quality of life. This research contributes to the evolving field of IoT-based healthcare solutions by streaming real-time glucose values on AWS IoT Core to empower individuals with diabetes to manage their conditions effectively. The iGM Framework has a promising future with the potential to transform diabetes management and healthcare delivery.
定期监测血糖水平对于糖尿病的管理和制定适当的治疗方案至关重要。传统的血糖(BG)检测需要刺破手指,这是一种侵入性的技术,经常进行会很不舒服。侵入性的操作,如手指刺血测试,会对患者的依从性产生负面影响。随着先进传感器和医疗技术的发展,糖尿病患者的生活质量得到了显著改善。重症监护病房(ICU)和孕妇也面临着包括高血糖和低血糖在内的挑战。全球糖尿病发病率的上升促使人们开发一种可穿戴的、准确的非侵入性血糖监测系统。本研究开发了一种基于物联网(IoT)的可穿戴血糖监测(iGM)系统,以改变糖尿病护理方式并提高生活质量。该系统集成了 TTGOT-ESP32 IoT 平台,具有用于血糖测量的红色和近红外(R-NIR)光谱范围。这款可穿戴设备的主要目标是为患者提供最佳的舒适度,并提供流畅的监测体验。该 iGM 设备在禁食 10 小时后准确率为 98.82%,早餐后 2 小时准确率为 98.04%。研究的主要目标是连续监测、降低感染风险和提高生活质量。本研究通过在 AWS IoT Core 上实时传输血糖值,为糖尿病患者提供了有效管理病情的能力,为基于物联网的医疗解决方案领域做出了贡献。iGM 框架具有广阔的前景,有可能改变糖尿病管理和医疗服务的提供方式。
