mHealth Tympanometer

So what's the concern here?

"Childhood hearing loss has lifelong implications for speech and language development, school achievement and future employment opportunities. Over 80% of affected individuals reside in low- and middle-income countries or underserved populations in high income countries, causing major barriers for hearing care. This team will develop a novel mHealth tympanometer with a machine learning interface to transform this technology from a device limited to use in only high resource environments into a low-cost screening tool that could be broadly disseminated in low resource settings."

And how was this intended to be addressed?

Develop a low cost tympanometer.

Below are some of the technical files and images associated with the project!

So this is ongoing and I can't really disclose details at this point in time. I'm happy to share more over a meeting!

Looking forward:
