This feature issue of presents a cross-section of interesting and emerging work of relevance to optical technologies in low-resource settings. In particular, the technologies described here aim to address challenges to meeting healthcare needs in resource-constrained environments, including in rural and underserved areas. This collection of 18 papers includes papers on both optical system design and image analysis, with applications demonstrated for ex vivo and in vivo use. All together, these works portray the importance of global health research to the scientific community and the role that optics can play in addressing some of the world's most pressing healthcare challenges.
本期专题展示了一系列与资源匮乏地区光学技术相关的有趣且新兴的研究成果。具体而言，这里所描述的技术旨在应对资源受限环境（包括农村和医疗服务不足地区）中满足医疗保健需求所面临的挑战。这18篇论文的合集涵盖了光学系统设计和图像分析方面的论文，并展示了其在体外和体内应用中的实例。总体而言，这些研究成果体现了全球健康研究对科学界的重要性，以及光学在应对世界上一些最紧迫的医疗保健挑战中所能发挥的作用。
