Estimating blood sugar without a needle, accepted at an IEEE conference

Millions of people with diabetes prick their fingers every day to check blood sugar. Devansh worked on a needle-free alternative: turning the optical pulse signal measured by a simple sensor into time-frequency images with derivative-synchrosqueezed transforms, and using them to estimate blood glucose non-invasively.
