Abstract

Medicines are an important part of modern health care system. The market for pharmaceutical medicines runs in billions of dollars a year. Butrecently a new problematic phenomenon has risen which is termed as "Poor Medication Adherence". In simple terms it refers to improper intake of medicines as prescribed by doctor. Study shows that the reason for it is forgetfulness. So the instrument devised here is to address the problem by building a wearable non invasive device which can alert the patient in time. Since the device is in its initial stage so it was built for only glucose detection to control insulin intake by diabetic patients. Near Infra Red light when passes through a tissue its absorbance is changed due to interaction with glucose molecules present. By detecting the level of glucose one can determine the insulin requirement of the patient. Glucose is one of the important biochemical produced in the process of metabolism in human body. But also a proper level of glucose amount will ensure the health of a human. Insulin regulates the amount of glucose level to be maintained in the human body.

Keywords

Poor Medication Adherence, Glucose, Insulin, Near Infra Red.

Abstract

The main concept of our projectis to survey our nearby areas and to find and treat patients having warts, which is caused by the infection which is also known as human papilloma virus infection. So we are providing a confidential discussion with the patient which will of course be between the patient, us and our guide Dr. Vasukidevi. The information given by them would not be shared or disclosed to anyone else.

And basically we will be working on the preparation of medicine which is of course a herbal one to treat them without any invasive or incision in their body. As it is herbal cure it would not have any side effects too. There are various natural substances that can be used for this herbal cure like curcumin, aloe Vera, apple cider, castor oil seeds, turmeric and many of these. Therefore, we are expecting some good results in future in our perspectives in these herbal curing field as we are also the one to support it.

Keywords

Human Papilloma Virus, Curcumin, Castor Oil Seeds.

Abstract

Temperature is the degree or intensity of warmth present in a substance or thing, particularly as passed on by a relative scale and appeared by a thermometer or seen by touch. Here I am utilizing LM35. The LM35 strategy are exactness combined circuit temperature gadgets with a yield voltage direct in regard to the Centigrade temperature. The LM35 contraption has a favoured position over direct temperature sensors balanced in Kelvin . Restorative sorts of apparatus impacted by warming are given this sensor to change over warmth into voltage in controlled manner to shield the equipment from overheating. The sensor equipment is fixed and not presented to oxidation.

Keywords

LM35 Temperature Sensor, Thermocouple, Impedance, Self-Heating.

Abstract

Sleepiness either by Drowsy or Alcoholic is the main cursory factor for road accident and daytime malfunction. Especially, distinguishing driver’s laziness could capture drivers from impacts brought about by lazy driving. This paper point is to permit the dependable sign for identifying driver frumpiness dependent on the infrared sensors. In this paper we connected IR sensors which measure the beats every minutes (BPM) inconstancy of the driver which indicates tiredness of the subject. The target of this task is to plan and advancement of inbuilt IR sensor inside directing wheel of the vehicles. This laziness discovery framework is savvy and increasingly precise to lessen the episode of street mishap.

Keywords
