Abstract:
Diabetic disorder is a form of physiological diseases in which our body blood
sugar level increases from its normal level. Inadequate amount of insulin production or
unusual response of body cells to insulin production results in increasing of sugar level.
The status of our cardiovascular system can be monitored by heart rate counting, which
indicates the condition of heart. So previous studies and researches aims on monitoring
blood glucose level and heart rate condition in isolated way, as a result the relationship
between these two parameters (blood glucose and heart rate) was not considered. But
this research focuses to consider both parameters together along with the disorders they
bring when the measurement is above or below the normal level for a better treatment.
The thesis covers, continuous monitoring of blood glucose level and heart rate in isolated
way but on the same system using electronic components and Arduino programming
code. Measuring blood glucose concentration best suits at 940nm wavelength, as a result
the number selected for the measurement. Heart beat sensor is being used for the
measurement of heart rate. Both the prototype and simulation (on proteus) of the system
is developed for analysis and validation of the final result. Test results of 40 individuals
were measured on the system developed, which leads to relate the relationship between
the two parameters. The effect of blood glucose and heart beat on cardiovascular system
is also being assessed. The reference values in corresponding with the values obtained,
none invasive measurement of blood glucose and heart rate measurement accounts 95%
similarity which is clinically acceptable
