DETECTION OF INTENSITY VARIATIONS IN OROPHARYNX

ABSTRACT Wheeling through the process of finding a device to examine the oropharynx(throat) which consists of the trachea and portion ofoesophagus as the infants are prone to infections concerned with the throat mostly due to seasonal changes and also due to lack ofimmunity in them. Over the last few years, the doctors across the globe have noticed a graphical increase in infections related to the throat, and have estimated that a little over 2 million people have been subjected to the throat related problems, mainly involving women and children. A recent study shows that every alternate patient who visit paediatricians suffer from throat related problems. In this paper we are developing a device wherein the transmitter module is interfaced with the camera which is used for monitoring the oropharynx, this device consists of light emitting diodes which acts as a source of light to scan the area required. In addition to this we develop an app on the users(doctor) phone in which the control unit is present functioning the camera to screen the image on the phone , and to control the switching action of the Led together recording the entire session.
