安德鲁·巴斯塔劳斯: 用智能手机来做次眼科检查吧

用智能手机来做次眼科检查吧

这个世界上，有三千九百万人失明。而他们当中绝大多数人失明的病因是可治愈的，并且可预防的。问题是，你要如何为那些居住在没有昂贵眼科检查设备和诊疗条件的、生活在偏远地区的人们提供检查和治疗呢？TED 研究会员安德鲁·巴斯塔劳斯展示了能够帮助进行眼科诊疗的两样东西：智能手机应用程序与便宜的嵌入式硬件。

Most of the world's 39 million blind people lost their sight to diseases that could be cured or prevented. In remote and low-income regions, traditional eye care equipment is often unavailable, yet mobile phones are common. By turning smartphones into low-cost diagnostic tools, even minimally trained workers can bring advanced eye exams directly to people's homes. This simple innovation turns a once daunting medical challenge into a solvable, community-powered effort.
