Smartphone-Based Hyperspectral Imaging - Low-Cost Application for Telemedicine.

Abstract

In this paper we outline a cost-effective design for the improvement of telemedicine applications through a two components concept. A normal smartphone is equipped with a small device containing different filter options, which provide particular spectral information for the identification of skin lesions. By merging the measured spectra, a higher data density and more information can be obtained using an ANN to improve an early diagnosis of skin lesions through telemedicine applications in remote areas.
