A Non-invasive Approach to Detection Blood Glucose Levels with Hand Skin Image Processing Using Smartphone
Abstract
Measuring blood sugar levels today still use invasive techniques that are painful so non-invasive monitoring is needed. This study aims to develop a non-invasive technique to identify and detect blood glucose through hand-skin image processing. This development method is by taking invasive blood glucose hand images and 30 participants aged 20-60 years, data analysis is done by image preprocessing, determining the Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) value, using the backpropagation algorithm to conduct training and data testing. to define a blood glucose monitoring model. The blood glucose detection model is implemented through the android operating system on smartphones by developing the GULAABLE application on smartphones which is simple and easy to use and without blood sampling. This GULAABLE application is to determine the condition of low or high blood glucose and can be used routinely at a low cost. Validating the results by identifying this non-invasive application compared with the results of invasive glucose measurements by applying to 10 participants, the identification results show an accuracy of 80%, so it can be concluded that the GULAABLE application method on smartphones can be used to monitor blood glucose conditions at any time by simply taking hand skin image.
