The Smartphone-Enabled Slit Lamp Device

This student team will work to design and build a novel, smartphone-connected slit lamp that enhances portability and usability while maintaining the high standards of examination precision required in ophthalmology. A more affordable, portable device will enable greater access to slit lamp exams, with particular benefit in more rural and low income areas of the globe. The student team will work to create a solution with the end user in mind, allowing for an intuitive and easy user experience. The student team will work to conceptualize and design a slit lamp that integrates with a Smartphone/Tablet. The optical precision should be comparable to existing Slit Lamp Devices and the slit lamp should have a user-friendly interface. The slit-lamp should be portable, affordable and durable. The student team will work to provide comprehensive documentation, including design schematics, user manuals, and technical specifications. The outcomes this student team is working toward is a prototype and end-to-end product demo of a more affordable, portable slit lamp device as well as a "how to" resource guide.
