# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (Dec 24, 2016)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these points emerged:

• Discussion of DIY blood analysis technology, with streety noting there are currently only test strips for glucose, ketones, and nitric oxide, but no comprehensive DIY autoanalyzer system.

• Potential market opportunity identified for a combined glucose and ketone test due to growing interest in ketogenic diets.

• Reference to surface plasmon technology being developed for gas analyzers, with nmz787 mentioning a miniaturized version using silicon fiber optics and silicon lasers.

• Shared research on integrated hybrid silicon waveguide optical gyroscopes that use counter-propagating light signals to measure rotation rates.

• Brief mention of a "diamond laser radio" technology, though details weren't elaborated.

• Discussion of microfluidic chip fabrication using shrink film, with abetusk sharing a research paper on this technique.

• Reference to a parametric 2D and 3D modeling tool called "jsketcher" written in JavaScript (https://github.com/xibyte/jsketcher).
