Sistema electrónico para monitorización de signos vitales y glucosa en pacientes diabéticos

Abstract

Current research focuses on the design of an innovative system to monitor vital signs and glucose levels in diabetic patients. This system seeks to provide a more pleasant and less painful solution compared to the different traditional glucometers on the market, which require finger pricks, causing discomfort to patients. The main objective is to develop a device that uses non-invasive technology to measure blood glucose levels, based on previous advances in technologies such as infrared spectroscopy (IR) and photoacoustics. The process involves the creation of a non-invasive glucometer prototype in which diabetic patients are evaluated, comparing their measurements with the values obtained using a conventional glucometer. The results show a significant correlation between both measurement methods, demonstrating the precision of the non-invasive device in determining vital signs and glucose levels without causing discomfort or pain to patients. This device represents a promising alternative for monitoring vital signs and glucose in people with diabetes. Its accuracy or comfort could improve treatment adherence and patients' quality of life by eliminating the need for painful punctures to measure glucose, while facilitating the monitoring of vital signs in a comfortable and accurate manner.
