Smartphone "Eye-Phone" can diagnose eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataract
The tested smartphone has an additional lens that can be used to scan the retina and record data with internal related procedures. The eye doctor uses the mobile phone to inspect the patient's eyes, and then transmits the data to the specialist medical team. The remote specialist can make a diagnosis and make treatment recommendations. R & D personnel will also compare the test data with the professional test results to verify the accuracy of the smart phone test results.
The team's captain, Barstall, called the phone he helped develop as "Eye-Phone." Compared with the professional eye tester, which is tens of thousands of euros and weighs 130 kilograms, this eye-catching mobile phone is easy to operate and relatively inexpensive. More importantly, “Eye-Phone†can accurately and effectively diagnose eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, myopia and hyperopia.
Kenya has a population of more than 40 million and only 86 qualified ophthalmologists, 43 of whom are practising in the capital Nairobi. In addition, due to poverty, many people are unable to go to the hospital for treatment. The 26-year-old Kenyan youth Karma is one of them. At the age of 3, his eyes were accidentally stabbed because of his playfulness. Since then, one eye has collapsed and often suffered from pain. However, the arrival of the Bastalos medical team brought new development of smart phone technology and ignited hope for him.
Bastaros hopes that one day, with the help of high-tech eye disease detection and medical technology, millions of poor Africans can be treated without the pain of eye diseases and blindness.
