There are many kinds of home intelligent health monitoring devices for diabetics. Traditional blood sugar measuring devices require taking blood samples. There are also a number of mobile devices that do not need blood samples, but instead take readings from a sensor implanted under the skin.
Recently, a team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a miniature blood sugar monitoring system named PERfECT that does full-time monitoring, does not need a sensor implant or blood samples, and can be taped directly to the wrist.
The research team of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed a coin-sized micro-bioelectronic sensing system PERfECT. By wearing it on the wrist, it can read the weak electrochemical signals of our body, to monitor and measure diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health condition….
