Draft design of an imaging device for developing countries. The device must meet the following criteria:
- take excellent images for the typical applications (as listed above) of a district hospital in remote and resource- poor areas
- allow for up to 5 hours of uninterrupted work in case of unreliable or unavailable electrical supply
- be very robust and require minimum maintenance
- be resistant to high temperatures, humidity and dust
- be easy to use, even by partially trained staff
- be largely language independent (e.g. use of a pictograms and image based user-interface).
- be compliant with applicable international standards and regulatory directives
- be very robust and require minimum maintenance
- be resistant to high temperatures, humidity and dust
- be easy to use, even by partially trained staff
- be largely language independent (e.g. use of a pictograms and image based user-interface).
- be compliant with applicable international standards and regulatory directives
The first goal of this design was to raise funds and provide a starting point for discussuons.
