Description
Summary:According to current research, approximately one-third of the world's population is clinically anaemic. Timely screening and treatment can restore personal health and raise health standards nationally and internationally. This study describes the development and testing of non-invasive haemoglobin detection device, designed by Tech4Life Enterprises. The core concept behind the development of the device is to integrate technological and social aspects involved in monitoring anaemia in communities so as to improve their quality of life, thus promoting a sustainable healthy life style.
