No Type II Diabetes Pre-screening device exists in the market

To address this need, we will create a hydrogel based lactate sensor where lactate level predicts probability of Diabetes II onset

Problem Statement

Page 3: Novel Approach to Lactate Sensing Diabetes Pre-screening Tool Christine Zhang, Stephanie Wu, Joseph Sun, Wern Ong, Toby Li.

Chronic illness characterized by high blood sugar

Type II diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin levels, most often because the body has become resistant to insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar

Diabetes

Develop lactate sensitive screening device for pre-diabetes screening

Using lactate sensitive hydrogels Measure volumetric change (directional

swelling) Correlate volume change to saliva lactate

Levels Predict probability of developing type II

diabetes

Primary Objective

Page 10: Novel Approach to Lactate Sensing Diabetes Pre-screening Tool Christine Zhang, Stephanie Wu, Joseph Sun, Wern Ong, Toby Li.

Tube filled with lactate sensitive hydrogel polymer

Exposure to saliva lactate causes directional swelling of hydrogel polymer

Volumetric change to saliva lactate concentration correlated to blood lactate levels

Correlation of lactate concentration to development of type-2 diabetes

Conclusion

Page 20: Novel Approach to Lactate Sensing Diabetes Pre-screening Tool Christine Zhang, Stephanie Wu, Joseph Sun, Wern Ong, Toby Li.

Hard to measure volume change Hard to control directional swelling Hydrogel polymer not very sensitive to small

lactate concentrations Gradual volumetric change not immediate

(hrs) Air bubbles Un-uniform distribution of lactate oxidase

Informal Observations

Page 21: Novel Approach to Lactate Sensing Diabetes Pre-screening Tool Christine Zhang, Stephanie Wu, Joseph Sun, Wern Ong, Toby Li.

Colorimetric Assay – Gradient of color change for more specific lactate readings

Digital Readout – More accurate saliva lactate readings

Testing in a public health application – test viability in large clinical settings (ie. Schools, businesses, clinics)
