Micro Medical Device to Prevent Myopia for Teenagers and Children

The purpose of this project is to find a solution and build a micro medical device to help prevent myopia for teenagers and children. The final product would be easily worn like a pair of glasses which can monitor the using habit of eyes and provide real-time correction to the users. There are four main parts. First, we analyzed the medical reasons that cause myopia for teenagers by doing research online. Based on the research, we decided to use the ultrasonic sensor for detecting the reading distance, the photoresistor for detecting the light condition, and the accelerometer to detect the reading angles. Second, we used the SEEEDSTUDIO XIAO ESP32S3 chip to control the sensors above and create a solution (formula algorithm) that has the highest chance of protecting the eyes. In addition, we used AWS to communicate between the real-time readings from the sensors and the decision-making of the algorithm through WI-FI. For the third part, we used SOLIDWORKS to design the 3D frame of our final product. Finally, we designed a web client that receives the data from the device for parents to view the status. Our product works stably. In the future, we will focus on designing our own chip and finding smaller sensors to minimize our product so that it can be an industrial production.
