Smart Phone Adaptive Otoscope
Description
This is a prototype of a smart phone adaptive otoscope. Using a smart phone, rubber band and a camera app at X 3.0 zoom (or magnifier app at 3.0 zoom) this 3D printed piece can become an otoscope. I am currently working on a way to better attach the device to the phone without the use of a rubber band as well as making a customizable openscad code for any cell phone. An otoscope is a medical device that is used to look into the ears by health care providers to look at the ear canal or eardrum. NOTE: this is not a regulated medical device and only registered medical professionals can make a diagnosis. My goal was to make a functioning 3D printed device to be an Open Source Appropriate Technology (OSAT). "OSAT refers to technologies that are designed in the same fashion as free and open-source software. These technologies must be "appropriate technology" (AT) - meaning technology that is designed with special consideration to the environmental, ethical, cultural, social, political, and economical aspects of the community it is intended for.
