According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 360 million people worldwide suffer from hearing-related diseases. A large proportion of these people live in developing countries, especially in South Asia, Asia Pacific and sub-Saharan Africa. Medical experts say at least half of the hearing loss can be avoided by primary prevention. However, in developing countries, even primary prevention is difficult to achieve.
This is why a group of students from Texas A&M University developed a low-cost LED otoscope with 3D printing technology. When the otoscope is inserted into a smartphone, it will take pictures of the inside of the ear. It is reported that this group of students is a member of Engineering World Health (EWL) in Texas A&M University. Currently, students have participated in the design competition organized by EWL with their design. They hope that the design can become a Kits are easy to produce around the world.
The team's head, Robert Hunt, and his deputy, Tessa Bronez, have both degrees in biomedical engineering in May, but they hope that other members of the team will continue to refine their designs after they graduate.
EWL provides a range of issues for healthcare professionals, especially in the developing world. Among them are the low-cost LED otoscopes proposed by Hunt and Bronez to help diagnose and treat those hearing loss problems. “We think smartphones can be used to reduce costs because there are cameras on many smartphones,†Bronez said. “Even in developing countries, the penetration rate of smartphones is also very high.â€
It is understood that their otoscopes are created with 3D printers, standard lenses and simple motherboards. The 3D printed stand can be adjusted to fit on any smartphone. In addition to smartphones, the total cost of this 3D printed otoscope is $6.42, and the average otoscope used by doctors in hospitals often costs hundreds of dollars.
