Abstract [en]
In this thesis the work of two earliermaster thesis is combined in order to a prototype for a continuous
monitoring of blood glucose levels(BGL). This system uses GlucoSet AS’s Fabry-Pérot
hydrogel sensor that changes it length based upon the concentration of glucose.
By using a super luminescent light source(SLED) and measuring the reflected spectrum,
information about the changes in length is measured. The reflected light is depended on the
length of the sensor.
A quadrature demodulation technique written by [9] in Matlab is used as a baseline for
Python application, and run on a Raspberry Pi 3b as hardware platform. This makes it possible
to easier expand the graphical user interface. Simulations show that a cavity length frequency
estimations accuracy of ¼ 0.625%, while a QDT phase accuracy of ¼ 0.1458%, computed at ¼ 15
seconds may be achieved with a bandwidth of 42 nm. A higher accuracy is achievable at the cost
of computation time. To power the SLED a driver circuit was designed and assembled, however
due to time constraint no testing with physical sensor was done.
