EWS for detecting macular degeneration

摘要

In this paper an embedded prototype testing device has been presented that was developed in order to formalize the testing procedure in order to detect the indications of macular degeneration (MD) in the human eye. The basic idea of increased delay time for the diseased eye is exploited in this work and a simple and easy to use prototype has been materialized. In order to make a fully automated early warning system (EWS) to detect the macular degeneration symptoms, this device can be used as the data collection source. At present, this device is being used for clinical testing and collecting the necessary data.
