Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The treatment and care of patients with chronic diseases depends directly on the evolution of biomedical parameters. It is important to have a monitoring health care system that provides biomedical data at any time and place. Here, a multi-sensing health care monitoring system with a built-in non-invasive blood glucose level estimation method is presented. METHODS: Six biomedical parameters were obtained from 15 participants. Glucose levels were obtained using a computer vision approach. A standard glucose laboratory test was taken as a baseline, and a commercial glucometer as a secondary reference. The remaining parameters … Show more
