Abstract

Hemoglobin concentration is a vital parameter used to detect abnormalities in the human body including anemia and polycythemia. Currently, invasive techniques are used for hemoglobin measurement despite their many disadvantages including discomfort and potential complications for the pregnant, elderly and pediatric patients. This research paper focuses on measuring the hemoglobin concentration without drawing blood. In this study, measurements were obtained from a total of 106 patients and a linear relationship was obtained between hemoglobin concentration measured using the invasive technique (Hb) and the modulation ratio (R) calculated using red light and near-IR spectroscopy. The effect of confounding factors of gender and age were studied in this relationship. Based on the mathematical model developed, a non-invasive screening tool was developed to determine hemoglobin concentration. The device was evaluated using the 22 test subjects. The state-of-the-art hemoglobin measuring techniques do not facilitate continuous and remote monitoring which is essential in a point of care screening device. The proposed non-invasive device has the advantages of prevention of infections, physical pain, and the low operational or maintenance costs while being portable.
检测贫血的无创筛查工具
血红蛋白浓度是检测人体异常(包括贫血和红细胞增多症)的重要参数。目前,有创技术被用于血红蛋白测量,尽管有许多缺点,包括不适和潜在的并发症,对孕妇、老年人和儿童患者。本研究的重点是在不抽血的情况下测量血红蛋白浓度。在这项研究中,共获得了106例患者的测量数据,并获得了采用有创技术测量的血红蛋白浓度(Hb)与使用红光和近红外光谱计算的调制比(R)之间的线性关系。研究了性别和年龄等混杂因素对这一关系的影响。基于所建立的数学模型,开发了一种无创筛查工具来测定血红蛋白浓度。使用22名受试者对该装置进行评估。最先进的血红蛋白测量技术不便于连续和远程监测,而这在护理点筛查设备中是必不可少的。提出的非侵入性装置具有预防感染、身体疼痛、操作或维护成本低、便携等优点。
