Innovation Highlight – Health Trace
Innovation Award - First Place in Brazil Imagine Cup
September 2023
Award received for the Health Trace project, presented by the panel of the Computer Engineering course at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais in partnership with Microsoft Imagine Cup. HealthTrace is a PUBLIC project in Brazil (PUC Minas). Our project introduces an innovative device capable of detecting and measuring variations in glucose concentration in your body. The main advantage lies in the simplicity and convenience of the process, as the user only needs to exhale into the device. This method is completely painless, significantly simplifying blood glucose measurement and making it accessible to everyone. The device is equipped with a gas sensor array and uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to provide an accurate reading of blood glucose concentration, making it an effective tool for health monitoring. Sobre a Equipe: Comprised of students hungry for innovation and knowledge, our team aims to build a better and more inclusive world for all. Technologies: App Services (Mobile & Web), Artificial Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Medical Technology, Python.
