CURRENT PROJECTS
Skin Condition Screening Tool
The Skin Condition Screening Tool comprises of a mobile phone clip-on and a spectrometer that aims to differentially diagnose skin conditions using fluorescence spectroscopy of skin. While spectrometry is being validated in clinical studies, the mobile clip-on is being extensively used by dermatologists. The hardware is supported by a companion app that allows to capture magnified, high-quality images of skin lesions, annotate, store and access them along with patient data whenever needed.
- A research paper titled A novel clip-on for smartphone dermoscopy in India has been published in “Healthcare Innovations and Point of Care Technologies (HI-POCT), 2017 IEEE”.
- A research paper titled Smartphone-based fluorescence spectroscopy device aiding in preliminary skin screening has been published in Proceedings of SPIE Photonics West (BiOS), 2018.
Pending Intellectual Property registrations
Ear Imaging Tool
The Ear Imaging Tool is an innovative device to image conditions and infections of the middle ear. It comprises of a mobile-phone compatible (OTG supported) camera that helps in visualizing middle ear and screening for various ear infections. A companion mobile phone application helps practitioners keeping patient records, documenting changes over time and annotate images/ videos of the ear.
