CellScope: Mobile Imaging for Disease Diagnosis Dr. Erik Douglas, leader of the CellScope project at UC Berkeley Abstract: Microscopy is the gold standard for medical diagnosis, but the necessary technology and personnel demands are often too high for use in the developing world. We are developing a platform for cell phone-based telemicroscopy, called the CellScope, which will enable remote image analysis for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases like malaria and tuberculosis. I will discuss the landscape of alternative diagnostics, our prototype system, and promising results we have achieved both in the lab and in field work. Dr. Douglass research focuses on microdevices for cellular analysis, and point of care diagnostics for use in the developing world. He joined the CellScope project in Summer 2008, and is directing the development and implementation of the technology for mobile microscopy in the developing world.
