Tele-Ophthalmology Android Application: Design and Implementation
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 11
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blind-ness in the world population. Early detection and appropriate treatment can significantly reduce the risk of loss of sight. Medical authorities recommend an annual review of the fundus for diabetic patients. Several screening programs for diabetic retinopathy in the world have been made to implement this recommendation. The purpose of this paper is to implement the idea and principle to facilitate the detection of this disease using tele-ophthalmology and the latest telecommunications tech-nologies. The present paper aims to develop an Android app named "RETINA" which captures retinal photographs using a microscopic lens, process them via several operators based on mathematical morphology after a filtering step by exploiting the library "OpenCV", and stores them in a local or remote MySQL database. The application also offers a small service and facilitates the task for the doctor and ophthalmologist by allowing the inspection of files of remote patients.
