Description

OphthalDSS - Support mobile application for ophthalmology decision making. The project's goal is to develop a mobile application for Android devices to be used as a clinical decision support system (CDSS or SADM in its Spanish acronym) by staff non-especialized in anterior segment ocular diseases. This application aims at facilitating and improving the diagnosis of anterior segment ocular diseases. such as blepharitis and conjunctivitis, among others. Another goal to be achieved is that the user would only require a mobile device, no need for specific tools, thus increasing the application's user-friendliness. In a cross-cutting way, this application has educational purposes, as medical students and other personnel interested in ophthalmology could access the main causes, diagnoses and images of the above mentioned diseases.

Novelty

Applicability of technology:

Yes

Companies and markets:

Due to the lack of clinical decision support systems for ophthalmology and, more precisely, focused on the anterior segment of the eye, it is logical to think that a project of this kind can find a place in said market. To this we can add the exponential increase in internet use, the daily use of smartphones and their mobile applications, and the awaited deployment of 4G networks, which will provide higher quality mobile communications. In view of the above, if OphthalDSS was to be marketed, it would become a highly useful tool for doctors and teachers with great prospects for the future. Its main recipients are primary care practitioners and other staff interested in ophthalmology.

Advantages:

This project's main innovative feature is its application's subject matter: CDSS for ophthalmology. Moreover, this project includes other project's conclusions pointing that, within ophthalmology, decision support systems regarding the anterior segment of the eye are quite rare.

Additional Information:

Javier Rodríguez Díaz was awarded the PROMETEO 2014(Award organized by the University of Valladolid) ACCESIT for this project.
