A device to detect deadly Ketones
The Ketone is a chemical produced by the liver when the energy (glucose in the blood) was exhausted. The life-threatening problems arise with elevated levels of ketones in the patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Electrical and Information engineers from the University of Sydney have created a hand held testing device for measuring and detecting ketones from our breath. This device can eliminate the finger prick blood test to check the blood sugar (glucose) levels. The prototype device is without a risk, pain and needle.
