Age-Related Macular Degeneration Diagnostic Tools: Hardware and Software Development

摘要

The paper proposes the design and implementation of hardware and software for visual assessment of patient suffering from macular diseases. In this method, a group of graphical patterns are displayed and the patient's responses are collected. The collected data is used to reveal the progress of macular degeneration. Herein we put forward the proposed software method along with various alternative hardware methods to display and collect the data from the patents. We demonstrated the discussed the development of devices including the human computer interface (HCI) smart glove. Also the characterization results for the measurement of response time to each pattern along with the systematic error were achieved using twenty human subjects. The proposed hardware/software platform is the best solution for the visualization assessment dedicated to the patients with a macular disease such as AMD.
