Project Type MQP Submission date 2008-04-24 Authors Elizabeth A Kinnal, BE Towa Matsumura, ECE Shannon Elizabeth O'Toole, BE Nathan C Occhialini, ECE URN E-project-042408-084303 Title An Activity Monitor for Diabetic Individuals Advisor Peura, Robert Allan, BE Availability unrestricted Abstract
An activity monitor that diabetic individuals can wear continuously will provide important information on how these individuals should make adjustments to their exercise, diet, and insulin dosage in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The device is composed of both heart rate sensing components and components to measure the magnitude of physical movement. The energy expenditure is calculated using an algorithm that continuously adjusts depending on the type of activity. The system display provides the carbohydrates burned in order to be adjunctive to carbohydrate counting, a common technique used for glucose management.
