Iranian Researchers Develop Hemoglobin Measurement System without Need for Taking Blood Sample

A research team active in the field of nanoelectronics unveiled two new diagnostic systems for measuring blood hemoglobin at the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition. These systems have been designed by using optical and photonic technologies and aim to achieve higher accuracy in monitoring biological parameters.

“One of the devices performs the measurement process by using just a drop of blood, while the second device is completely non-invasive and reports the hemoglobin level without taking blood. The system operates on a mechanism similar to a pulse oximeter, which is currently used to measure blood oxygen levels,” Mahboubeh Esmayeelpour, a PhD student in nanoelectronics at Sharif University of Technology, told ANA on the sidelines of the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.

She noted that the non-invasive device uses nanomaterials, which have improved the accuracy of the optical sensor.

The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.

Running from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
