E-Mosquito

The feature of Diabetic Treatment

Mosquito’s are really annoying. They suck our blood and make us ill.

But today there is an artificial or electrical mosquito that can measure our Glucose level and in feature it can also do blood test, such as genetic testing and Cancer screening from the comfort of one’s home.

The project was started in 2007 by a team at University of Calgary in Canada and they develop  a fully autonomous, minimally invasive device that is pre-programmed to “Bite” one’s skin at various times during the day to monitor blood glucose levels.

They recently premiered their latest prototype, a watch-like device that taps into capillaries under the skin and deposits a drip of blood onto a glucose-testing strip. After testing the result will be wirelessly transmitted to a Smartphone or doctor’s office.

In the prototype, it consists of two parts: a reusable watch-like top consisting of the battery, LED display, actuator and various other components, and disposable bottom cartridge equipped with needle and test strip.

The whole prototype is small enough to sit on the wrist and, more importantly, the penetrating needle reaches a capillary under the skin every single time, says Mintchev.

There is much to work on it. But it seems that it could be a better and less costing equipment to monitor the blood sugar level.

We hope best for this brilliant invention done by the team and send best wishes that they can make it better and better in the feature.
