Analysis of blood substances such as glucose, hemoglobin, protein, etc. are important parameters for health condition monitoring. The method proposed here uses a couple of photo-plethysmo-graphic (PPG) signal obtained from finger by using two monochromatic light at 660nm (Red) and 940nm (IR) to measure hemoglobin non-invasively. An empirical equation for the calculation of hemoglobin content in blood...
Diabetes mellitus affects millions of people worldwide. At present, the technology used by diabetics for determining blood glucose concentration is invasive which requires a blood sample and is thus painful. Bloodless and painless technology to monitor blood glycaemic levels could improve the life of diabetes patients. This paper presents the design of microstrip sensor modeled in the form of microstrip...
A truly noninvasive blood glucose-sensing device could revolutionalize diabetes treatment and coupled with advances in microelectronics can improve compliance with recommended glucose levels and greatly influence the cost of diabetes monitoring. The paper describes a Multivariate PLSR system for blood glucose prediction by considering 5 major variants in human blood i.e Glucose, Alanine, Ascorbate,...
Diabetes affects more than 285 million people globally according to estimates by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). It is a metabolic pathological condition of concern, which affects vital organs of body if not diagnosed and treated on time. Regular monitoring of blood glucose is important to avoid further complication. Commonly used glucose measurement methods are invasive which generally...
We propose a real time, gesture based robotic arm manipulation using kinect sensor. This method uses kinect depth data, skeletal data and joint orientation data for end effector movement including roll, pitch and pinch. For the initial data, we extracted skeletal of the person, hand position and hand state. In closed hand state condition, the position of the hand is extracted and the three dimension...
This paper deals with the monitoring of joint diseases status under the influence of high frequency electrical signals. The response of the system for applied electrical signal was acquired, processed and displayed using four surface electrodes, Bio signal amplifier, Analogue to digital converter and PIC microcontroller. The electrical property of the tissue alters whenever the tissue surface is applied...
This paper reviews the some of significant works on infant cry signal analysis proposed in the past two decades and reviews the recent progress in this field. The cry of baby cannot be predicted accurately where it is very hard to identify for what it cries for. Experienced parents and specialists in the area of child care such as pediatrician and pediatric nurse can distinguish different sort of...
We propose that the computation of the AIS (Augmentation Index Series) and TIS (Time Interval Series) from continuous arterial pressure signals, can be useful tools in the evaluation of arterial and cardiac pathologies.
Non invasive time domain reflectometry (TDR) may be used to estimate the volumetric moisture content, thetasv, with depth for a variety of sample materials. The forward physical model is couched in terms of a moments method where integration is performed over a discretised sample space to estimate the measured propagation time, tp down a pair of parallel transmission lines. We show that inverse solution...
Numerous reports describe the use of non invasive glucose monitoring techniques, mostly in an in-vitro setting or under controlled in-vivo conditions. Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is an example of such a technique that has been used to monitor changes in the glucose level caused by alterations in the electrolyte balance in skin and underlying tissue. The resulting changes in AC and DC conductivity...
