Contact Lens To detect and Therapy Of Diabetes

Contact Lens To detect and Therapy Of Diabetes-

The Invention by the combination of Technology and Medical and technology gave a pace in Medical Science and Development. The Development of a Contact lens to measure Blood glucose level with the help of Tears has been diminished by Google and Novartis. They Abandoned the Project when they feel that it was Scientifically Impossible to Develop any Kind of Invention. 

Meanwhile, Researchers in South Korea tend to find success in that invention. Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology have developed Smart contact lens that measures Glucose level and also Provides Control Drug Delivery. Research Led By Prof. Sei Kwang Han has Found the low irritation in Rabbits, Able to detect Glucose Level in Tears, and Release the compound Genistein that helps to treat Diabetic Retinopathy.

Patients Suffering From Diabetes experience Fluctuations in blood glucose level. Sudden drops can lead the patient to a high risk such as Losing Consciousness and Spikes may result in complications such as Diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. Closely monitoring the patient in order to provide an adequate response to the blood glucose level is what considered an achievement in Science.

Contact Lens consist of Glucose Sensor, A Drug Reservoir, a wireless power receiver coil, and integrated cIrcuit Chip, A radiofrequency Communication system. Glucose sensor measure the Glucose level, Drug delivery takes place with the help of a Drug Reservoir for the Controlled Release of Therapeutic. A resonant Coil made of Copper allows Inductive coupling to power the circuit and the device can communicate with external smartphones, Devices.

Science has been Growing Tremendously in a Great pace. The collaboration of Technology wth medical interventions is rising day by day making a better cure for Dangerous diseases. As per the World Health Organisation, Diabetes has been drastically rising From 108 Million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The prevalence of Diabetes has been increased in countries with low and middle-income countries than high-income countries, Due to lifestyle. So it's my request to take care of health because health is You are the only caretaker of Your Health.
