Abstract:
The OpenFlexure Microscope is an accessible, three-dimensional-printed robotic microscope, with sufficient image quality to resolve diagnostic features including parasites and cancerous cells. As access to lab-grade microscopes is a major challenge in global healthcare, the OpenFlexure Microscope has been developed to be manufactured, maintained and used in remote environments, supporting point-of-care diagnosis. The steps taken in transforming the hardware and software from an academic prototype towards an accepted medical device include addressing technical and social challenges, and are key for any innovation targeting improved effectiveness in low-resource healthcare. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue \'Open, reproducible hardware for microscopy\'.
摘要:
OpenFlexure显微镜是一个可访问的,三维打印机器人显微镜,具有足够的图像质量来解决包括寄生虫和癌细胞在内的诊断特征。由于获得实验室级显微镜是全球医疗保健领域的主要挑战,OpenFlexure显微镜已被开发制造,在远程环境中维护和使用,支持即时诊断。将硬件和软件从学术原型转变为公认的医疗设备所采取的步骤包括解决技术和社会挑战,并且是任何旨在提高低资源医疗保健有效性的创新的关键。这篇文章是西奥·墨菲会议议题的一部分,显微镜的可重复硬件。
