During the years, numerous attempts were made to aid the day-to-day life of diabetic patients among which we can name continuous glucose monitoring devices, also known as CGMs. Our client, the ZGT hospital, would like to incorporate the use of these devices for their in-hospital care. Therefore, our challenge consisted of finding a way to transmit these glucose readings from the CGM to the hospital's database. Our prototype includes an embedded system device which we called SATO BANI, a GUI which supports the configuration of the device with the patient's hashed id and network details, a server which is able to handle the communication end-points and security aspects and a database designated to store the glucose readings.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
