Pediatric Perimeter

Peripheral vision impairment is an indicator of potential abnormalities in the human body. It is a challenge to measure the visual field of an infant suffering from physical disabilities like cerebral palsy where the body's movement is restricted and the patient cannot be tested in the standard way. Pediatric Perimeter is a novel device to measure and quantify visual fields and reaction times to light stimulus in infants. This device assists in the early detection of neonatal eye diseases and early signs of vision-threatening conditions. The prototype we made recorded the response and the movement of pupil. I was a part of the initial team that had started the project and was involved in hardware prototyping and design of the enclosure. We had tested it on few babies and got valuable feedback. The first version was presented to Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and received encouraging reviews.

The prototype of the device that was used to do the preliminary testing on babies. This testing setup is suited for infants and kids with physical disabilities.

Here in the picture below, I presented this project to the President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and got his feedback on the project. Dr Kalam was my childhood hero and it was a great moment to present him my project!
