This document discusses improving non-invasive blood analysis by expanding the medical spectral window. It summarizes prior work using wavelengths above 600nm to analyze blood properties like oxygenation and hematocrit. The author proposes targeting the thumb webbing instead of finger for absorption measurements, hypothesizing it could provide a wider spectral window. An apparatus was created to collect data from the thumb webbing and finger. Preliminary data from three subjects showed transmission increased significantly when measuring the thumb webbing compared to finger, with absorption ratios varying between subjects. Further research with more wavelengths and subjects is suggested.

Design and Development of a Shortwave near Infrared Spectroscopy using NIR LE...IJECEIAES
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology has been getting more attention in various fields. The development of a low cost NIR spectroscopy is crucial to reduce the financial barriers so that more NIR spectroscopic applications will be investigated and developed by means of the NIR spectroscopic technology. This study proposes an alternative to measure shortwave NIR spectrum using one collimating lens, two slits, one NIR transmission grating, one linear array sensor, and one microcontroller. Five high precision narrow bands NIR light emitting diodes (LEDs) were used to calibrate the proposed spectroscopy. The effects of the proposed two slits design, the distance between the grating and linear array sensor, and three different regression models were investigated. The accuracy of the proposed design was cross-validated using leave-one-out cross-validation. Results show that the proposed two slits design was able to eliminate unwanted signals substantially, and the cross-validation was able to estimate the best model with root mean squared error of cross-validation of 3.8932nm. Findings indicate that the cross-validation approach is a good approach to estimate the final model without over-fitting, and the proposed shortwave NIR spectroscopy was able to estimate the peak value of the acquired spectrum from NIR LEDs with RMSE of 1.1616nm.
This is the project report for my internship at HBCSE-TIFR. The project describes a low-cost method for analysing the spectrum of LEDs and determining the wavelength.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and TextileAzmir Latif Beg
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas. FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in fiber. By FTIR we only know the name of fiber is identified. By this technique we can identify the exact composition of fiber like 80 % polyester 20 % cotton.

569nm intensity is small 660 319.6 3226.56

to increase intensity.

9. Our Research: Target Thumb Webbing
for Absorption instead of Finger
Our idea is to extend the medical
spectral window by targeting the
thumb webbing for absorption
([Sabrina Paseman 2008] did
this for fluorescence)
Our hypothesis is that we can get
better measurements than
Samsung with a wider spectrum
of wavelengths by offsetting the
increase in extinction coefficient
with the decrease in sample
thickness.
Interrogating thumb webbing
would give us a wider window in
which to view medical problems
10. Implications
Increasing the size of the window would allow us to:
Detect Sources of error in Samsung’s work
See if there is a statistically significant difference
between the light absorption of systolic and diastolic
blood at 569, 660, 805, 940 and 975 nm.
See if there is a statistically significant difference
between the fluorescence of systolic and diastolic
blood excited at 425 nm.
11. The Apparatus
We’ve created an adjustable width clip
that fits either the subject’s index
finger or thumb webbing.
One end of the clip holds the same 5-
LED package used by Samsung and the
other holds a fiber optic cable which
connects to a spectrometer.
This allows us to double check the
LED’s wavelength, determine its
intensity, and observe any swamping
of fluorescing effects.
Samsung’s work specifies “Three
variables of R569,805, R569,940, and
R569,975 were used for calibration and
prediction models. It means that four
wavelengths were used in hematocrit
monitoring.” It is for this reason we
look specifically at 569nm
12. Experimental Approach 1
Clamp is adjusted to fit the subject’s index finger.
Subject removes finger so distance between
spectrometer and LED can be measured with a
micrometer.
Thumb webbing is placed over the entire LED,
integration time is adjusted and data is collected.
Subject removes thumb webbing and places index
finger over LED. Data is collected with the same
integration time and plotted on the same axis for
comparison

Integration Time: 404.05 ms
Width: 0.7175 cm
4131.5 counts
14. Findings
Transmission increases 13 fold
Samsung’s LED chip has an artifact at around 875nm
when the 569nm LED is lit. If their device uses a
photodiode to collect light, especially at low
intensities, much of the collected light would come
from the artifact rather than the 569nm absorption
This method limited the quality of the readings we
could take from subjects with darker skin
15. Experimental Approach 2
Hold led underneath the thumb webbing and
the spectrometer on the other side.
Re-integrate the spectrometer and record the
integration time. Capture the graph.
For data analysis, find the ratio between the
ratios of the peak counts at 569nm and the
integration time Counts thumb webbing

23. Conclusions
Transmission increases across the board but
varies from subject to subject
Our suspicions about the artifact are affirmed
by our second set up
24. Further Research
Collectdata for more subjects with varying
melanin contents
Observe wavelengths other than 569 nm
Investigate the potential for finding pulse
readings through thumb webbing
