There are 39 million blind people worldwide. It is estimated that 80% of patients can avoid blindness after proper diagnosis and treatment. Several eye specialists in the UK hope to integrate diagnostic tools on Apple's mobile phones, benefiting people around the world who have access to health care.
Their diagnostic tool, called "PEEK", is a portable eye examination device that can be connected to an Apple phone via 3D printing and can be used to check various indicators of the eye. PEEK can provide a basis for the diagnosis of ocular defects or diseases. It not only provides an eye chart, it compares normal and abnormal vision, it also examines the patient's retina and pupil to find more problems.
According to the World Health Organization, most blind people around the world are treatable. They often have problems with eye refraction, cataracts or glaucoma. The PEEK team presented their app at the TED Talk conference, hoping that people in low-income areas can use this diagnostic tool to benefit millions of people with poor eyesight. Mario Giardini, head of the company's hardware, said: "This tool is very simple, but it will change our perception of the eye."
PEEK is expected to be available in the second half of this year and the company has begun accepting reservations. This month, the company easily achieved its expected goals, and then invested a total of 130,000 pounds in crowdfunding. Other smartphone diagnostic tools include inexpensive microscopes that can be used in classrooms or in places where medical services are available.
