Comment on Indian researchers create a Raspberry-Pi-based device to monitor health

Comments

I have a common medical condition which is easily monitored via a common blood test.

It seems to fluctuate quite a bit, and if I could get frequent readings I could figure out what is affecting it, and I could better understand it's effect on me.

But the medical system in my country does not allow for frequent readings, probably for good reason - it would be very expensive. And a hassle going to a lab frequently.

So I'm excited to read about this device and hope the tech matures quickly.

How would you go about drawing blood? Is a finger prick good enough for these tests or would you need to know how to draw venous blood?
