Mobile based Tele-medicine Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication alter the retinal microvasculature. As diabetic side effects on retinopathy may cause no clear symptoms or only mild vision problem, the way of acquire retina image is sophisticated and only at eye clinic, this study proposed to design simple optical system with aid of mobile phone camera and a Web-based telemedicine system for diabetic retinopathy screening. The Web-based system was built on PHP programming language and My SQL for data base management system. The result of acquire retina image with the proposed system is achieved and send through web page for further analysis by ophthalmic specialist. The proposed system offer patients follow-up and reducing the cost for them through using a telemedicine technology for detection.
