EasyGlucose (the application for measurement of sugar in blood)

2019: Announcement

At the beginning of May, 2019 the application which is used by a photo of an iris of the eye of an eye for exact assessment of level of sugar in blood was submitted. The application was developed for diabetics who should trace a diet and the needs for insulin.

The application under the name EasyGlucose the student of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Bryan Chiang. He became the winner of the competition Microsoft Imagine CUP 2019.

EasyGlucose provides a noninvasive method of monitoring of level of glucose in blood for patients with diabetes. For operation of application it is only required to install on the smartphone the adapter for visualization of an iris of the eye for $10 which allows to receive photos of an iris of an eye in high resolution.

The application capable to measure sugar level in blood on a photo of an iris of the eye of an eye is submitted

The application uses the system of machine vision with deep learning developed on Azure Virtual Machines for the analysis of morphological changes of an iris of the eye of an eye and calculation of level of glucose in the patient's blood. In spite of the fact that the application is used by exclusively noninvasive and even non-contact method, its results are very exact and exceed other noninvasive methods for 30%.

At daily use the application works in offline mode, but at connection to network loads results of measurements on a cloud service that users and their attending physicians could analyze the existing trends and optimize therapy.

Brian Chan studies in the University of California, Los Angeles and studies information science. He won $ dollars 100,000 in the tender Microsoft Imagine CUP and checked technology at Stanford University before submitting the application for approval to regulatory bodies. When the technology enters the market, Chan is going to provide the application with a subscription for $ dollars 20 a month.^[1]
