Digital Vision Screening
[Save Our Children's Sight]



Design and update a digital vision screening system that identifies children with potential eye problems and provides comprehensive vision care for preschoolers.


Quarter Goals

Image Analysis Team 
The Image Analysis team's goal is to develop a web application using Python to implement an algorithm onto an image so that it may output a resulting diagnosis requested by the client. What the team is trying to do is to make a program that can analyze the eye cresent to determine diseases and optical defects associated with specific eye images.

GUI Team 
The GUI team's goal is to ensure a user-friendly interface in which the client may seamlessly navigate through the program. For this quarter, the team will incorporate an agile development and scrum techniques to carry out tasks and produce user stories, flow of control diagrams, wire frames, and a mock-up prototype incorporating the Django framework with HTML and CSS for our client.

 

Hardware Team 
The hardware team's goal is to set the foundation for making a camera more accessible for our client. Currently, the team is determining the viability of building the product using a webcam versus a DSLR camera. This will include creating a mount that will hold the flash at a specific angle and distance to maximize the red eye effect.



Subteams

Image Analysis Team
The image analysis team is responsible for developing an algorithm and implementing through a web application that will analyze an image and determine if a patient's eyes have refractive errors.

GUI Team
The GUI team is responsible for creating a user-friendly interface that integrates the hardware and the image analysis portions of the project so that the user may efficiently retrieve the required diagnosis.

Hardware Team
The hardware team’s task is to improve the mobility of a camera, which takes pictures with the red eye effect at a high frequency.

 


Client
Save Our Children's Sight works closely with the Shiley Eye Center to provide an unprecedented model for community health by overcoming barriers to care for the underserved. Save Our Children's Sight accomplishes it's mission of providing low-income children aged 2-6 the vision they need to succeed in life by identifying, treating, and preventing vision disorders.
