Description :
The purpose of hemoglobin in our body is to bind oxygen. When there is a lack of hemoglobin one feels tired, suffers from headaches, dizziness, fatigue, inability to concentrate, shortness of breath, etc. Low hemoglobin causes anemia. It is suggested to get the hemoglobin level tested at regular interval. The common method to measure hemoglobin is by observing the chemical reactions in labs and estimating the hemoglobin level. In the present study it is observed that the hemoglobin can be accurately measured by measuring the capacitance of the blood sample. This study investigates the viability of measuring hemoglobin concentration by evaluating the performance of dielectric property of blood samples. In this paper the authors tried to establish a relationship between the hemoglobin and blood capacitance. It is observed that the blood capacitance decreases with increase in hemoglobin level in blood. Using this method hemoglobin level can be measured easily, accurately and quickly. By measuring the capacitance of the blood we can also predict the value of hemoglobin. The result has been verified by using data mining software, DTREG. Data mining is a computational process of determining data pattern. The paper includes the result of data mining which distinguishes the normal and abnormal hemoglobin value of blood by measuring the capacitance of blood.
