Projects:2017s1-156 Interrogating a Glucose Monitor

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to interrogate the commercially available product of flash glucose monitoring by building a wearable device. The importance of continuous glucose monitoring is to maintain the normal glucose tolerance in the human body. It would be useful for people who face life-threatening diabetes symptoms since if the diabetic patients take inappropriate actions without knowing their real-time blood sugar would result in losing their life. For this project, we choose the Freestyle Libre company’s glucose monitoring device. We build a wearable device that provides users with the ability to get the readings at any time on their phone rather than using another company’s own-designed monitor reader equipment. The application installed on users’ phone will display the data on their screen and store the readings in a remote server to allow them to access the information from different devices.
