The present invention essentially consists of an integrated system that allows acquisition and quantitative analysis of high-resolution images of the retina. The integrated system includes an optical device and a software app. The optical device is a smartphone-adapted lens for acquisition of high-resolution images of the retina. The software app is a smartphone app for quantitative analysis of the retinal images acquired through the hardware component of the device. The computation is carried out by means of cloud-based technologies. Quantitative indices of retinal damage are obtained. These indices are proven for being relevant for both clinical and research purposes.

Abstract
The present invention essentially consists of an integrated system that allows acquisition and quantitative analysis of high-resolution images of the retina. The integrated system includes an optical device and a software app. The optical device is a smartphone-adapted lens for acquisition of high-resolution images of the retina. The software app is a smartphone app for quantitative analysis of the retinal images acquired through the hardware component of the device. The computation is carried out by means of cloud-based technologies. Quantitative indices of retinal damage are obtained. These indices are proven for being relevant for both clinical and research purposes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
