Mobile Microscopy, Sensing And Diagnostics For Point-Of-Care Medicine And Global Health

Technological improvements coupled with advances in computational imaging have revolutionized healthcare at unprecedented rate. The emphasis on point-of-care (POC) devices is ever growing, and over time it has been emerging as an effective tool to address global health challenges. Together with conventional portable technologies such as wearable sensors and mobile-phone devices, bedside tomographic imaging modalities are also becoming a reality. Portable and bedside tomographic imaging modalities are critical for several scenarios such as diagnosis of stroke and can potentially be used for early detection of neurodegenerative and orthopaedic diseases.
