FluoroCents

The FluoroCents Android app takes repeated measurements of the sample's lux value by capturing the reading from the ambient light sensor as changes in the lux value occur.
FluoroCents was developed in Java using the Android Studio IDE.
The app outputs the mean lux value and variance of the lux onto the user interface over a 30-second interval.
The number of lux measurements taken during the interval is also displayed according to user preference to run trials in a scientific setting.
To ensure in-field functionality, the mobile app comes with a saving mechanism that stores the results of fluorescence tests in the cloud.
By utilizing Amazon Web Service's DynamoDB NoSQL database infrastructure, many data points can be recorded in one test including the following:
- Latitude
- Longitude
- Timestamp
- Disease Status
- Name of User
- Nearest Body of Water
- Source of Sample
- Additional Notes
The latitude and longitude coordinates for each test can then be retrieved from the DynamoDB database and displayed within the FluoroCents Android app using Google Maps API.
Each location marker for its respective test is labelled with characteristics as inputted by the user.
These features make up the helminth diagnosis mapping tool (HDMT).
This tool is built into the testing app and accessible on mobile phones across the globe.
Healthcare workers can easily access data where helminth infections are prevalent in order to prioritize immediate need of aid.
On a broader scale, this enables healthcare workers to allocate resources and plan distribution pipelines in a way that is efficient and resourceful.
Housing all parts of the diagnosis workflow, including the measurement of fluorescence, storage of data, and map access all in one app serves as a highly useful capability in the field.
