Web-based Cell-phone Microscopic Examination
of Infectious Parasites
The growing demand for high-quality health care in regions of the world where medical infrastructure is below levels found in developed countries, portable devices that can transmit relevant data to remote experts are likely to have a large impact on quantity and quality of care. Microscopy-based identification of parasites is the basis for both diagnostics and epidemiological assessment of parasite burden globally. |

| Executive Summary: |
The Digital Parasitological Examination Program (DEPP) is a library
for identifying parasitological specimens. It is a web service in which
medical staff can use the iPhone/iPad or any digital tool to capture
an image of a specimen. The medical staff may upload images to identify
the candidate specimen. DEPP web services also recognize parasite eggs,
oocysts or worms, estimate the number of eggs, oocystes or worms per
micro-liter in the sample. It also can plot graphs based on the number
of individual or multi-infection in the uploaded sample.
