An Affordable 200 degree non-mydriatic retinal microcamera (RETINALCAM) is capable of imaging the peripheral retina to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR) for mass screening

Abstract :

The earliest sign of diabetes shows in the peripheral retina. As DR is the most common cause of global blindness early detection is attained by examination of the peripheral retina. A Long before DR and Diabetic Macula Edema (DME) manifest prevention of progression may be achieved by early treatment preventing vision loss. Currently early detection of DR requires a visit to an ophthalmologist for a dilated exam. The RETINALCAM is suitable for the general practitioner and medical clinics. Since the onset of the current pandemic tele-medicine has been widely accepted and utilized. The above MICROCAM designed for office use has been modified for home monitoring. The RETINALCAM is a patient home monitoring system that allows the patient to self- monitor the high definition image to the doctor's office. The system is not only for ophthalmologists and optometrists but includes all medical sub-specialties. Once pathology has been detected continuous remote management may be used. The home monitoring system is a revolutionary enhancement of the microcam that contributes a major contribution to patient management.
