College Project Survey

Closed 24 September 2000

I am a senior in Textile Engineering at North Carolina State University. My senior design project involves the incorporation of a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring sensor into a textile garment. I plan to design the product to meet the needs of diabetes patients of any age. However, I hope that this type of garment would be especially beneficial to children with diabetes because it would ensure that their sugar levels are periodically monitored. Your answers to the following questions would really help me to focus my project on successfully meets the needs of diabetes patients. Thank you very much for your time and input.
