| Abstract: |
| Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common diseases in children, and glucometer doesn't allow children to self-monitor their condition. However, advancement in technologies and research have given possibility of testing GL non-invasively that are accurate. The idea is to design an interactive device which allows non-invasive monitoring of BGL, letting children to take hold of their condition. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Children have to test their glucose levels at least four times a day, using the conventional glucometer. Children can't self-monitor due to the intimidating process of glucometer and require constant guidance from their parents or caretakers which can be emotionally draining for both parties. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Diabetic children, who have to test their BGL on daily basis. The doctors recommend to test the GL in different environments, however due to open sampling and alienated behavior from peers, children hesitate from testing their BGL. |
| How will the solution works |
| The idea is to make a non-invasive, interactive device which would allow children to self-monitor their BGL. The device would work using breath sensors, that would analyze acetone levels in exhaled breath. The interaction would further work on feedback sensors, such as lights and visuals. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| At this stage, only one product exist which is breathalyzer. The device caters the need of pre-diabetic people, thus the actual competitors doesn't exist. |
