| Research Abstract |
Aiming to develop an optical system installed in toilet for monitoring urine substances for home healthcare use, a new technique using near infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with the chemometric method was designed and evaluated. Also developed was a conventional spectroscopy system using a flow through cell and optical band-pass filters(BPF). From the results obtained by the experiments using urine sample obtained from young healthy adults, it was confirmed that, using this system, we could estimate glucose concentration in urine sample.
