O.H.D chip

Our idea is to implant a chip inside the body that can measure sugar, calories, and pressure and send a message ordering the body to exercise or alert the person.

1- Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It's also the brain's main source of fuel.

The main cause of diabetes varies by type. But no matter what type of diabetes you have, it can lead to excess sugar in the blood. Too much sugar in the blood can lead to serious health problems, Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Prediabetes happens when blood sugar levels are higher than normal. But the blood sugar levels aren't high enough to be called diabetes. And prediabetes can lead to diabetes unless steps are taken to prevent it. Gestational diabetes happens during pregnancy. But it may go away after the baby is born. 

537 million adults(11 million Egyptian) (20-79 years) are living with diabetes - 1 in 10. This number is predicted to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.

2- Hypertension

Blood pressure is the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body, Your blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day

1.28 billion (40% of adults in Egypt)people suffer from hypertension, almost half of whom did not know about their injury.

3- Obesity

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease with several causes that lead to excessive body fat and sometimes, poor health. Body fat itself is not a disease, of course. But when your body has too much extra fat, it can change the way it functions. These changes are progressive, can worsen over time, and they can lead to adverse health effects.

More than 1 billion people worldwide are obese – 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents, and 39 million children,(39.8% of Egyptian adults). This number is still increasing. WHO estimates that by 2025, approximately 167 million people – adults and children – will become less healthy because they are overweight or obese.

We want to implant a chip in the body that can measure sugar, calories, and blood pressure, that is, it will be like (digital blood pressure monitor/glucose meter /In body device )  

The chip will produce simple electrical charges to be able to measure the percentage of calories in the body, it will work with the same idea as the in-body device

The chip will allow the person's blood to pass through it in the same way as a glucose meter to monitor the number, and the chip will be connected to the person's phone, it will show him the measured number or the percentages of the presence of sugar, fat, calories and pressure values in the body and we found that the best material for implanting a microchip in the arm would be biocompatible materials such as titanium, stainless steel, or polymers. These materials are designed to be compatible with the body and minimize any potential risks associated with implantation.

Where it will be implanted in the upper one of the arms so that it can measure blood pressure more effectively and quickly give an alarm to the person if there is an emergency this will show the person's phone; in addition to some tips that the person must follow to improve his health

Our solution will serve people who are suffering from diabetes as they need constantly to measure sugar levels in the blood and know what types of food they must avoid, obese patients also need to measure the percentage of calories in the body and get tips about what type of food he must eat and the suitable exercises for him to do and hypertensive patients as many people especially the elderly, suffer from high or low blood pressure and need to constantly measure blood pressure and know how to make it in a healthier state.

Which will make their life easier, and more reassuring, and contribute to significantly improving their health.

-First of all, we chose this idea as more than one member in the family of each of all has one of the diseases that we will work on.

-We noticed they need to measure blood pressure and blood sugar constantly, in addition to sometimes they do not pay attention and eat a large number of foods that they should only eat in limited amounts, and sometimes they do not know the cause of the problems that occur to them at a certain time due to these diseases and how they should deal with them to alleviate them and sometimes it is difficult to go to the doctor, especially for the elderly.

-Hence the idea; we started thinking about how to make measuring blood pressure and blood sugar level easier and how to help people avoid harmful habits and help them when needed by sending tips or instructions to these patients.

-And we came up with the design of microchips.

-We started researching to find out the possibility of implementing the idea and we are still working on developing our research to be in a clearer picture.

The idea of implanting slices in the human body for medical purposes is an innovative idea because it would provide a more accurate and efficient way to measure blood and sugar levels. This would be especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as it would allow them to monitor their levels more closely and accurately than ever before. Additionally, this technology could potentially be used to detect other medical conditions, such as heart rate or cholesterol levels, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of those conditions.

And it will quickly give an alarm to the person if there is an emergency and this will show the person's phone; in addition to some tips that the person must follow to improve his health.

Microchip implants in humans, Linked to the software of mobile apps and IoT, by using the mechanism and methods of measuring devices for diabetes, blood pressure, pulse rate, and body-fat percentage, look like the size of a small rice grain, made of silicone with a bio safe glass tube, The chip will be used in biotechnology in a way for the body to adapt to it and interact in how to measure it such as their measuring devices and inbody, Using biology engineering to configure the chip to resemble devices to previous diseases, It can be combined with synthetic biology and radio-frequency identification technology, Implanted in the hand under the skin.

Just under half a billion people are living with diabetes worldwide and the number is projected to increase by 25% in 2030 and 51% in 2045, and The study estimates a 33% increase in obesity prevalence and a 130% increase in severe obesity prevalence over the next 2 decades. If these forecasts prove accurate, this will further hinder efforts for healthcare cost containment.
