Low power portable monitoring system of parameters for hypoglycaemic patients

Hypoglycaemia in diabetic patients has the potential to become harmful, causing symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, tremor. Severe cases can cause coma or even death. Hypoglycaemia is only significant when it is associated with symptoms, hence by monitoring parameters such as sweating, snoring, EEG and heart rate, severe hypoglycaemia can be detected. This paper describes the monitoring system of four body functions described above for the detection of early symptoms of severe hypoglycaemia. A battery powered monitoring system has been built on a Eurocard size PCB and tested for its performance of these parameters
