Abstract
This Master’s Thesis focuses on diabetes in developing countries. The project is based upon qualitative data collected during field studies at clinics and hospitals in Senegal and Gambia, West Africa, and the overall vision is to design a medical device for cheaper and more accessible diabetes tests and monitorings of blood glucose levels in developing countries. The product developed in the project incorporates a newly developed electrochemical measuring method that ensures a significantly lower price for each test while not being dependent on expensive extra supplies that clinics in developing countries do not have access to.
