Low-Cost 3D-Printed Otoscope to Help Diagnose Hearing Loss in Developing Countries From: Medical Design Technology - 05/18/2016 A group of students at Texas A&M University has designed a low-cost otoscope that when plugged into a smartphone, can take photos of the inside of the ear. The group, members of Texas A&M's chapter of Engineering World Health, has designed and built a model LED otoscope that it is submitting to the national organization’s design competition. The group’s hope is that its design could be turned into a kit for easy production around the world. A low-cost LED otoscope is needed to help diagnose and treat those with hearing loss. Robert W. Hunt is headed to Stanford University for a master’s degree in bioengineering.
