Prakhar Austin Mohan, a third-year B.Tech
student at MIET Engineering Institute in Meerut, India, has designed A non-contact
tonometer, called the 'Smart Eye Pressure Monitoring Device'.
In conversation with ETV Bharat, Prakhar
said that traditional machines for glaucoma testing cost up to Rs 1.5 lakh, but
the device he has developed will cost between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 only.
According to Prakhar, the device was
developed using a microcontroller.
“It provides data processing and wireless
connectivity. It has a non-invasive IOP sensor, which accurately measures eye
pressure without pain,” Prakhar said. He explained that he had used a
cloud-connected model, which analyzes the data and monitors the pressure
pattern in the eye.
The device has an OLED display and is linked
to a mobile app, which provides real-time readings and alerts to patients as well as doctors. Its IOT integration enables continuous monitoring, remote access, and
emergency alerts, Prakhar said.
WHEN WILL THE DEVICE HIT THE MARKET?
Prakhar informed the news portal that the device is in the final stage of
development, and he has also applied for a patent to launch the device in the
market. He said that the tonometer has provided accurate results during the
testing phase.
