The partner organization’s primary stakeholder, Dr. Behzad Mansouri is a domain expert in the field of clinical eye examinations and their relationship to brain health. Dr. Mansouri knows the applications that are necessary to provide those in remote areas with access to health care related to his field, but does not have the means to produce the technology without assistance.
The production of a successful deployment of this application would be an operational pivot for the organization. Patients in remote areas would not have to travel to see an eye specialist, and individuals living in countries where access to specialists are non-existent could be serviced. This would expand the scope of patients for Dr. Mansouri and other physicians using this application.
The next iteration of this project would represent the third iteration. The first iteration was new development to design a means of having patients interact with phone technology in order to perform eye examinations in a remote setting. The second iteration was a refinement and expansion of some of the functionality found in iteration one. The student intern team successfully created a visual acuity test, a visual range test and a test for color blindness.
