Continuous Glucose Monitoring Device
Abstract: Managing diabetes effectively requires regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, which is traditionally done through invasive methods like finger-prick tests. This work introduces a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring system utilizing the MAX30100 pulse oximeter sensor and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system estimates glucose levels by analyzing infrared (IR) light absorption properties, eliminating the need for direct blood sampling. Key components include the ESP32 microcontroller, cloud-based data storage, and …

Diabetes Prediction Using ML Techniques
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, denotes a cluster of prevalent endocrine disorders characterized by persistent elevated levels of blood sugar. Diabetes is classified into two main types: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes arises when the body is unable to produce insulin, while type 2 diabetes involves either insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Early detection and intervention are essential to reduce its harmful impacts. The …
