custom diagnostic Tools for mobile devices

DESCRIPTION

Smartphones are equipped with a variety of advanced sensors such as digital cameras, microphones, and accelerometers, when combined with their computational power and connectivity, have the potential to transform traditional uses of imaging, sensing, and diagnostic systems, especially for point-of-care applications and field settings.

Different microscopic imaging modalities have been incorporated with mobile phones to provide field portable sensing platforms that can potentially be used for early detection and prevention of a variety of health problems. 

We can customize your mobile phone to enable a host of microscopy, sensing and diagnostic applications.
