IIT Jodhpur researchers develop a low-cost, smartphone-compatible paper-based glucose detection device.
IIT Jodhpur researchers have developed a low-cost, paper-based analytical device that can be connected to smartphones, providing on-spot detection of glucose levels. The device, which features lab-based functionalised biodegradable paper, changes color based on glucose concentration. When connected to a smartphone, it provides quick, easy-to-access results. The current cost is about Rs. 10, with plans to further reduce it to Rs. 5 during mass production.
