Summer project

Artificial Intelligence Specialization · Cohort 2025

Digital Holography Microscope (DHM) for Automatic Disease Identification Using AI

By leveraging DHM, automated, high-precision and cost-effective diagnostic solutions can be developed for diseases affecting millions worldwide, enhancing healthcare accessibility in resource-limited settings. This project proposes the design, development, fabrication, testing, and validation of a compact, cost-effective, low-cost-per-test, field deployable DHM coupled to a trained ML model for remote label-free automated point-of-care disease diagnosis. The features obtained from DHM can be used to train ML algorithms aiding in the detection of malaria, sickle cell anemia, and thalassemia.
