Nowadays, LEDs are no longer simple lighting. Scientists have made new discoveries in the medical field - blood sugar detection. Traditionally, blood sugar testing requires blood drawing and large instruments to detect the components in the blood. To use LEDs to detect blood sugar, you only need to use a contact lens. If this technology is put into use, it will be faster and easier to detect blood sugar. Let's take a look together!

Under the leadership of the professor, the team of the Academy of Science and Technology has successfully designed a blood glucose monitoring LED contact lens, which can test the user's blood sugar without needing a needle. The inside of the contact lens is combined with an LED design, which is usually kept on. Once the blood sugar level of the person wearing the contact lens exceeds the standard, it will automatically turn off.

This smart contact lens contains a hybrid matrix, transparent conductors, and many functional devices, including LEDs. When using smart contact lenses, electricity is transmitted through the built-in small antenna to activate the LED pixels and glucose sensor in the lens. Once the blood sugar level in tears is detected to exceed the standard, the resistance of the sensor will decrease, resulting in an increase in the resistance of the LED series circuit. The LED light source will automatically turn off, reminding the user to pay attention.

The research team mentioned in the report that the miniaturization of blood sugar detection allows users to detect blood sugar without going through a large testing instrument. At the same time, the report also pointed out that the rapid manufacture of smart contact lens templates, coupled with the use of traditional processing methods, is conducive to large-scale mass production in the future. Although this product has been used in rabbit experiments, the research team also said that it has no side effects, but it has not yet passed human experiments. In addition to the glucose oxidase in the sensor, scientists have questions about whether it will damage the eyes, and how to prolong the service life. Doubt, nor can it be ensured that the blood sugar level of the human body can be accurately measured through tears.

The above is the application of LED light source in medical treatment. If you need to know more detailed information about LED light source, please consult Shenzhen SUNLITE Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.
