| Low Cost Fundus Camera for the Third World The aim of the Medical Valley Spitzencluster-Projekt (A04b)
is to
present a mobile demonstrator for a low-cost fundus camera
for the third
world. By a robust and easy to use device pictures of the
fundus will be
taken in the third world. The pictures are transmitted to
western
countries by mobile phone net. There the diagnosis is done by
a doctor.
The findings are reported back to the third world where only
the persons
needing a treatment are sent to a central care-center.
