A student from Iqra University has developed a glucose-measuring device that provides accurate blood glucose results without having to prick and take out blood from the patients. The device also helps in measuring the pulse rate.
University student, Muhammad Faizan, has called this device as a ‘non-invasive blood test’. It took two-year’s hard work and research to develop this instrument. This manual device comprises an infrared sensor, LED, photodiode, IC and other circuits.
The device can really make a difference in the lives of people with diabetes. Currently, around 30 to 40 million people suffer from diabetes in Pakistan. It will make the blood tests way easier for people who have to check their glucose levels more than once a day.
Another good thing about this device is that it is economical, costing only Rs. 1500. The device contains a round box with infrared diodes and sensors. When a person puts a finger on this box, light falls on it and the display shows the blood sugar level.
Faizan started developing this device two years ago under the guidance of Dr. Irfan Anis.
Faizan it’s a great invention. If you would like to scale up let’s discuss investment and partnership
iqra university student!!!! bus phir chal gai yea device… :D
Any link to buy online?

Please
I am so proud off you betta faizaan msy allah gave you lot of effort. Alhumdulilah.
Sound like a very useful and affordable device. Am interested to purchase one..
Very good for poor patient
فیضان صاحب اس ڈیوائس کو جلدی سے پیٹنٹ کروالو اور اس کو بنا کر سیل کرو امید ہے کہ اس کی بہت مانگ ہوگی اور ڈالروں کا طوفان آجائے گا پاکستان میں
Such device was disapproved by FDA due to accuracy in reading long ago,
However if it is available commercially it will be good for Diabetic patients for estimation of Blood Sugar level without taking blood samples
When will it go sale world wide? No needles no pain!
Need to know the details, that how can I get it.
Great work faizan… May Allah bless you..you are pride of Pakistan! …hope you will work more for your country
KHA SE MILY GE YR YE DEVICE
When will it be in the usa
Were can i buy this product
First congratulations to you i hope there many more people like you who can make devices
For other illnesses to check
And finally where can I buy this from uk
Hopefully this device will be real.
We can’t afford another agha waqar who drove his car with water.
And also Theranos. After Theranos, people are sceptical about any blood testing devices. Any doctors or medical electronics professionals should scrutinise it thoroughly.
Make it open source. Give it away for free. That’s the only way to get around big pharmacy. Give it to China so they can mass produce it and flood the market. If you really want to save lives, you can’t be profit driven.
You have made all of Pakistan proud and all of us with diabetes very hopeful!
Excellent. From where we can purchase
Congratulations is in order! Now the medical industry will do everything to sabotage your product to make sure they are not the ones losing out or will try to capitalize on it, making it unavailable to the poor people who really needs it. You can sit on mountain of fortune like the rest or be noble and find a way to share your invention with the people whom can not otherwise afford it. I myself check my blood sugar only once a week due to cost.
It’s an ind effort, collective effort n sincerity is NOW required 2 b dissolved by LEADERS not POLITICIANS
Where to buy ?
Where to buy in USA and at what cost?
Where to buy this machine plz guide me I give need this device
Masha Allah Great Step to Future Generations Too
:)
Great invention
What is its price and where available. Muhammad Akram
Amazing invention! Congratulations. Can you please inform us where we can buy it from….? I am sure millions of people will be interested in your device.
Thank you for your effortless time and inquiry to develop this truly life saving devise. When will it be available to the world?
Here are the next steps, validate tech, if checks out make inventor billionair, buy tech send it to the masses… apple watch, dexcon, abbot perhaps… the race is on… lol or another crash and burn time will tell…
Excellent buddy
Keto diet, stop eating carbs, no need for this device.
Many people have multiple chronic conditions that prevents them from eating this way.
Plus people with type 1 diabetes have a different need altogether and must have insulin injections and check their blood sugar several times a day their whole lives!
Type 1 diabetes will still cause blood sugars to rise as the pancreas does not produce insulin.
Please do some research.
I think it’s AWESOME if you can do this for all diacetic sufferers including. ME!
Does it work for diabetic cats and dogs??
Great idea, now make it a watch like device, that all I need to do is press a button and it gives a sugar reading, with the capability to download info..
I’m a diabetes sufferer for over 30 years. This device seems to be, provided it works to some level of accuracy, an absolute necessity. Three to four times a day costs a lot of money and pain. I’ll be happy to buy it now.
It’s a muslem lie as usual, do not believe
Weldon Fizan
You helped diabetic patients a lot by giving them this ultimate advice which gives lot of relief from pain as well as expensive test.
Thanks A Lot
Waiting for its commercial availability in market.
Wow this is very exciting for those of us who have to poke ourselves several times per day. Please be sure to make your device widely available as soon as humanly possible. It will save many lives.
This device, exactly this device exists on the market for quite a while. How dumb are you people posting here?
Assalaam-O-Alaikum.
Faizan we are really very happy to learn about your invention for measuring blood sugar levels.This will no doubt avoid the cumbersome practice of pricking your finger for taking out blood to measure and also a very low priced gadget.
May Allah ( SWT ) give more strength to invent such economical medical instruments to help mankind. Wish you success in your future endeavors. Ameen.
Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
When will this blood checking gadget be available in the market. Are there going to be selected dealers/distributors for it.Please let me know, I am interested to buy one for myself.
It’s possible that previous comment from adan, may be true. Even in trial runs or infancy; something as hopeful & promising, WOULD have ABSOLUTELY been on tv news around the world.
Ambreen shabbir if this is true then this invention worth is not less than a novel price & faizan & his team deserve it but unfortunately I have not heard this news verification from electronic media anywhere which is bit skeptical for me to believe.
Good work Muhammad faizan.. Hard work pays off.. Appreciated your work.. You will also get negative comments on ur work people make fun of you by hearing your University Name but ignore them all.. Jo kuch nhi karsaktay wo just batain he bana saktay hein.. Good luck for your future. Stay blessed
Not a new thing. It has been already developed 5 years ago by NUST, 3 years ago by COMSATS students. Also, the using the IC or photodiode the results are very poor. Hope so this device really goes in market as when student complete the degree, they stop working on it and it becomes garbage
Very bad and negative comments. It’s a shame our own countries people behave like this. I live here in UK never heard gadget like this. Please do not discourage any young person who invent any gadget untill it’s proven to be wrong. Faizan seems to be intelligent young individual and deserve encouragement and respect. It’s too early to say when it will come in the market. There is always space for improvement when it comes to a gadget or machine. Thanks Faizan.
I am looking such device since long.
Please let me know where to get this device. I need it for my Mother… ASAP.
Please inbox me how can I buy this device in 1500 Rs. And also share some detail about accuracy and authencity of its reading.
Asalam-u-alaikum.
I want tis device…
Pls tell me contact numbers to purchase.
Regards
Good luck for the humidity congratulations
What a comfort to know that we will be able to test ur blood without having pain Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such great help.
Dear All
Just a humble request to all of you. If you cannot find anything good in others then please do not look for their odds aswell. Faizan has invented this device for a good cause and this reason is sufficient for everyone. Do not hurt him by saying that others from different places had already done so. He being himself got his life once and he did something remarkable. Encourage him please. Our generations will follow our footsteps …. Would you tell them the same that what’s a big deal it was done earlier. Please motivate and appreciate him. Be human …. Spread happiness. There is no time for criticism and hateness. Sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings. That’s what my perception about life. ….
You’re right regarding that the people should appreciate rather than criticizing. But the truth is that the claim the supposed inventor is making are too good to be true . As much as I want to believe but my inside knows it’s just a bluff.
I’m highly skeptical regarding the accuracy of the device. I have doubts that even it works. As it is claimed to be a medical device so it should undergo exhaustive testing before its ready for sale. All of those who are asking about its availability in USA, rest assured no medical device is able to be introduced into USA market without approval of FDA and it takes years and lot of money
Oh great, now more people will have diabetes in Pakistan
Hello, Can anyone share his personal info.?
Should have been approved by some scientific body before going to media. We have seen many such claims that later caused embracement
May Allah SWT bless you,your parents and teachers.Ameen
Congratulations to all of you good luck.
Any details of the device except for its ability and estimated impact? How can we trace the device?
GRAND.
LET IT NOT DIE. IT SHOULD BE CONTINUOUSLY TALKED ABOUT.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU !
Good to know it. ذرا نم ھو تو یہ مٹی بہت زرخیز ھے ساقی۔
Whats next? a car which runs on water
I have diabetes and can’t get a lifestyle Libre for my arm that comes with the scanner I can’t get that because I don’t take insulin but if this device works and I can get it I’m willing to try
Where and how can I buy one ?
Such experiments should be encouraged ,muslims were pioneer inthe world of science and technology and invented so many things which are still are in use during golden age of islam
We need more details. If it is true and tested then we need to hear testimonials. Faizan MUST get a patent for this asap before someone tricks him into loosing that option. He needs to then take all those steps that an entrepreneur has to take to understand mass manufacturing, licenses, tests, testimonials, setting up a company and manufacturing large scales etc etc. sharks are everywhere. I pray you find good partnership. Let me know if you need help in that.
Great innovation. Share it to world.
When can we get it?
Have the invention certified from an international medical body. Register your IPR documentation, share the test results / research. Explore a possibility of venture capital support to launch an entrepreneurial venture and then formally announce it to the world. Btw, diabetes is a silent killer and the inventor knows about the deadly mortality rate in the masses.
Brilliant….Get it patented first before showing to the world.
Good luck and continue your hard work for the country. Allah halp and bless you.
Masha’Allah, I would like to congratulate Faizan on this tremendous invention which will be welcomed by all diabetes affected people.
I know this is possible and read somewhere that Apple was working on such a solution for their smartwatches. I hope this is legit and not another scam. Not many details about the sensors shared so I wouldn’t get too excited at this time.
This device would help most to those people who are really afraid of pricking. It should come in market ad soon as possible.
At last one positive news from Pakistan. All the best.
I feel pain when my mother prick her finger to check the glucose level. I promised her I will buy a product whenever someone invent on which she dont need to prick her finger.
I congratulate and highly appreciate your effort.
Please send me your product or shop link where I buy this for my mother. I will pay all delivery charges.
Many prayers for you,
Looking forward to hear about your product availability in market
how can we purchase / get it?
The article should say a Pakistani student has successfully copied without suspision of plagiarism a non invasive device for sugar level measurement. This is nothing new. Its inaccurate methid of testing and plenty of cheap models can easily be bought from international e commerce websites. Thanks but no thanks.
A great step… But patent it ASAP… Indeed, need of the day…
Mashallah.
You have improved a great technology and have improvised such a great technology to help these people
Such a great effort dear it should be implement.
This is a rip-off of a Final Year Project and thesis by a Biomedical Engeering Graduate of Ripah University. She used leads to propose and create a CGM. You can confirm this from the university campus and Biomed department in Pindi/Islamabad. The actual inventor works at PKLI kidney and liver institute Lahore. Respect other people’s intellectual contribute and avoid ripoffs. Pro-Pakistani should do it’s due diligence before calling a thief an inventor. Don’t promote rip-offs.
typos
LEDs instead of leads
Contribution instead of contribute
Congratulation to you that you invented very good device I have advise if you work more on this device to make like alarm on it when sugar level go down to get alert. May God help you.
faizan, the ppl here are right……. but apply for the patent as soon as possible ……… 2years of research is a long time working on something …… mind you, this will start losing business to many companies, i.e. regarding strips, needles, blood glucose machines, etc. …… therefore u would be facing a lot from others regarding its accuracy …….
Allah will help you for sure InshAllah ………
How is this an invention, or even a good engineering project. Non invasive blood glucose testing is available open source in software and hardware. These devices are available in the market since a while now. Hkw does does stuff make it to such website and gets viral.
Is this device marketed,if so from where it can be purchased ?
Well done I think it is good for terrorist also ……
A step forward in diagnostics. It will ease diabetics. No information about the availability of the device. Kindly let us know how to get it
Very Impressive… Where to buy this?
It is amazing and this is a great discovery and commendablle sevice to mankind . Any idea where we can buy this device or order it from?
Is this blood sugar detection device available on the market? If so, how can one buy it?
where I get this device?
