I detail advances in funduscopy diagnostic systems integrating smartphones. Smartphone funduscopy devices are comprised of lens devices connecting with smartphones and software applications to be used for mobile retinal image capturing and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. This is particularly beneficial to automate and mobilize retinopathy screening techniques and methods in remote and rural areas as those diabetes patients are often not meeting the required regular screening for diabetic retinopathy. Smartphone retinal image grading systems enable retinopathy to be screened remotely as teleophthalmology or as a stand-alone point-of-care-testing system. Smartphone funduscopy aims to avoid the need for patients to be seen by expert ophthalmologists, which can reduce patient travel, time taken for images to be processed, appointment backlog, health service overhead costs, and the workload burden for expert ophthalmologists.
我详细介绍了集成智能手机的眼底照相诊断系统的进展。智能手机眼底照相设备由与智能手机连接的镜头设备和软件应用程序组成，用于移动视网膜图像捕获和糖尿病视网膜病变的诊断。这对于在偏远和农村地区自动和移动化视网膜病变筛查技术和方法特别有益，因为这些糖尿病患者往往不符合定期进行糖尿病视网膜病变筛查的要求。智能手机视网膜图像分级系统可以通过远程进行视网膜病变筛查，作为远程眼科或独立的即时护理测试系统。智能手机眼底照相旨在避免患者需要由专家眼科医生进行检查，这可以减少患者的旅行、图像处理所需的时间、预约积压、卫生服务管理费用以及专家眼科医生的工作量负担。
