  • Portable medical device and method for quantitative retinal image analysis through a smartphone
    Patent number: 9468377
    Abstract: The present invention essentially consists of an integrated system that allows acquisition and quantitative analysis of high-resolution images of the retina. The integrated system includes an optical device and a software app. The optical device is a smartphone-adapted lens for acquisition of high-resolution images of the retina. The software app is a smartphone app for quantitative analysis of the retinal images acquired through the hardware component of the device. The computation is carried out by means of cloud-based technologies. Quantitative indices of retinal damage are obtained. These indices are proven for being relevant for both clinical and research purposes.
