DESIGN OF AN ACCESSORIES FOR ENDOSCOPE FOR CAPTURING STABILIZE IMAGE

Abstract

The self-diagnosis of ENT disorders is becoming increasingly common in today's digital age, with patients often using online resources to research their symptoms and attempt to identify their condition. This master thesis project aims to improve self-diagnosis of ENT by exploring the development of tools and technologies that can assist in this process. The project follows the Double Diamond design method, which involves four phases: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. The literature review highlights the advancements in otoscopy and endoscopy technologies, including the use of video-otoscopes and portable ear endoscopes. Intraoral cameras have also been proven effective in dental practice for diagnosis and patient education. The methodology section outlines the design brief, the discovery phase, and provides an introduction to endoscopy and endoscope construction. The objective of the project is to conceive and create working prototypes of novel applications for endoscopic cameras in various domains. The project aims to contribute to the improvement of medical diagnoses and treatments through the use of advanced endoscopic technologies.
