Lensless Imaging for Battlefield On-Chip Blood Diagnostics

Abstract

In this proposal timeline (1 Year total) we developed a new lensless on-chip imaging platform, termed LUCAS, to enable both diagnostic and sensing capabilities within a cost-effective hand-held unit that is specifically suitable for the battlefield settings. We established the proof of concepts of this imaging modality to achieve reliable and repeatable quantified whole blood analysis and compared our results against commercially available blood analyzers. Furthermore, we investigated the fundamental limits on the size of the detectable cell/bacteria with this platform. These accomplishments resulted in several refereed journal and conference articles. This research effort included one postdoctoral scholar as well as one graduate student working under the leadership of the PI.
