- Project Description
-
Our project SuGuard is an innovative, non-invasive system designed for early diabetes risk detection. It addresses the global challenge of limited access to affordable and comfortable glucose monitoring, especially for teenagers, rural communities, and individuals at risk who avoid frequent invasive testing. Many people delay diagnosis because traditional glucometers require finger pricking, which can be painful and inconvenient.
SuGuard uses two physiological sensors — a heart rate sensor and a body temperature sensor — combined with intelligent data analysis to assess potential glucose-related risks. The device is compact, user-friendly, and designed to transmit data for monitoring and further evaluation.
To address this challenge, we have already taken concrete actions. We developed a working prototype and tested it with a real user who is at risk of elevated blood sugar levels. Additionally, we conducted a clinical observation trial under the supervision of a professional doctor at Medical Center Avicenna. The medical specialist reviewed the results and provided professional feedback on the device’s functionality and potential.
These steps demonstrate that SuGuard is not just a concept, but a practical solution moving toward real-world implementation.
