Abstract
This is an effort to simulate the concept of treatment of different types of Thyroidism after determining the TSH, T3 and T4 levels in the human body. The target is to determine the effective dose of Thyroxine to be provided to the patient so that normal level of the same can be maintained in the human body. It interacts with every organ system and plays a crucial role in metabolism [1], but there is no software technique to bypass the doctors for the treatment of Thyroid malfunctioning. The Analog devices like operational amplifiers have features identical to the arithmetic operations. Primarily, the voltages in the high-gain dc amplifiers can be reduced to an average to these three variables and the operational amplifiers can do the arithmetic operations on the voltages, the accuracy of measuring voltage may be circumscribed to limited point. A Digital circuit has been implemented to determine the dosage required by the patients using the best market products. The simulation has been done using CircuitMaker ( Student version).
