Madurai Campus Connect

Computer Science and Engineering students D. Mohana Sukita, M. Darshini and T. Priyadarshini of Latha Mathavan Engineering College, Alagar Kovil, Madurai, have developed a smart glucose monitoring and alert device under the guidance of Chairman Datuk Mathavan.

The device uses a capacitance liquid-level sensor and Arduino to monitor glucose levels and alert medical staff through an alarm and LED light when the fluid runs low.

It also automatically stops the flow to prevent air from entering the patient’s vein. Costing ₹2,500, the device aims to reduce nurses’ workload and improve patient safety. Executive Director Dinesh Madhavan, Joint Secretary Jagan Madhavan, Principal Gnanasekaran and other college officials congratulated the students.
