Abstract
Mobile health applications can increase access to healthcare in low and middle-income countries, where the penetration of smartphones is rapidly increasing. However, despite a large amount of clinical trials of mobile health applications, there is little proof of beneficial clinical outcomes. Recent studies suggest that one of the reasons is user experience issues. The aim of our work is to improve the user experience of acquiring medical eye images with a smartphone camera. We present EyeGuide, a mobile application that assists people in taking eye images. Possible application areas are the algorithmic detection of diseases and the support of clinicians during tele-medicine examinations.
