Abstract
This study presents a hand driven centrifugal device coupled with a smartphone microscope to rapidly diagnose intestinal parasitic infections. The most common method for parasite diagnosis (direct smear or Kato Katz methods) though low cost and relatively easy to perform, suffer from high false negative results. Thus, there is a need to develop a high sensitivity high accuracy technique for the detection and monitor intestinal parasitic infections. Here, we demonstrate a point of care system consisting of a smartphone microscope coupled with a hand driven centrifuge disk to perform rapid parasite infection diagnosis.
