this is presentation in biomedical engineering field. it shows a new invention for diabetic. it is a glucose nansensor that helps to minimize the need for the implantation of electrochemical sensors , which minimizes patient inconvenience and pain.
3. Diabetes Has Become Epidemic
• Every day,
3,600 new cases of diabetes are diagnosed.
580 people die of diabetes-related complications.
225 people have a diabetes-related amputation.
120 people with diabetes progress to end-stage renal disease.
55 people with diabetes become blind.

9. CONCLUSION
• minimize the need for the implantation of electrochemical sensors , which minimizes
patient inconvenience and pain.
• Can performed when the patient is sleeping.
• Provide a means to measure the glucose levels continuously instead of only specific time.
• It would be an additional cost of producing this smart tattoo, by thoroughly comparing the
smart tattoo with other commercially available nanosensors.
• The tattoo, like most cutting-edge technologies have drawbacks, but can be turned
around to full efficiency.
