PUBLISHED WORK
"An improvement in Indirect Binocular Ophthalmoscopy for Diabetic Retinopathy",
PIERS-2017 (NTU, Singapore), IEEE Explore (2017)
Kaustubh Sinha, Kala Bharathan, Ashraya nayaka T E, Noha Ahmed
A novel bio-medical product which delivers effective diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity in premature babies and reducing the stress on elderly patients accompanied by a cost reduction factor of 40x. Retinal imaging for premature babies did not exist before this device and doctors had to rely on visual memory.
