Wee-Scope is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, Machine Learning powered Bio-Tech Product that is:
- Cheaper than Present Alternatives
- Light-Weight and Portable
- High Resolution with 1000x Magnification.
- AI Ready.
Wee means micro. How did we come upon the idea of Making a Wee-Scope? It all started with us visiting a veevor village in a NSS camp. We found that couple of children were suffering from diseases and they didn't know what they were suffering from. Upon asking why, we came to know two things.
- There was no proper facilities or doctors available in the village at all times to diagonose advanced diseases.
- Even if they were available the economic conditions of the villagers didn't allow them to avail those Healthcare facilities which they deserved.
Healthcare should be the right of Every Human being. Healthcare isn't a national issue, but a Humanitarian Issue. Our study found that nearly 8 million people die every year because of a lack of access to high-quality care. That is a big problem for 21st century where everyone cares about money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth and going to Mars.
Why Wee-Scope? Because ours is a AI Ready, Portable and most Importantly a Lot Cheaper than traditional Disease Diagonising Costs, i.e., Cost for diagonising the disease in a Pathology Laboratory, or being able to afford Disease diagonising machines. Not to mention the middle man costs, Such as paying to pathology laboratories and Doctors.
Also the factor of time. When you give your blood to test it takes usually 2-7 days for your results to come back. Our system would cut all the redundant and unwanted cost plus would cut the time required in diagonising the disease. Our system will enable anyone using it to diagonise a disease in mere 15 minutes. That would cut the time required for diagonizing by 1/8th.
The first iteration of idea came from Manu Prakash's foldscope, as good as it sounded to us the lower resolution and fixation of lens lead to chaos. The basic idea of foldscope is combining 2.6 mm lens to get a magnification of about 140x, however the resolution and magnification was very low even to identify basic diseases.
The second iteration of wee-scope followed by re-desiging the microscope which prove to be expensive than existing one.
But our main focus while making Wee-Scope was to keep the quality of the product durable, Price of the product cheap and accurate which would work as effectively as a traditional microscope.
It can be made from something as cheap as a thick paper and something as hard as metal pipe. For Demonstration purposes, we made the wee-scope using the cardboard packing of the the Jet Brain Bottle Goodie. We even made a Wee-Scope out of the cover of the notepad given by the Hack-A-Bit.
Our Wee-Scope consist of a tubular structure that can be made out of almost anything you can find your hands on, something as cheap as paper and something as lightweight and strong as a PVC Pipe. At one side of the tube is attached a 10x objective lens which is 2.0 mm in diameter. And another end consists of a 100x spherical Objective. 10x objective multiplied with 100x objective at a specific focal length gives us 1000x Magnification. After much trial and error we found out the perfect Focal length for this two objectives was 20 cms. Our design diagram can be seen below.
The slide housing was created from old shoe box (cardboard) by stacking the cutted cardboard on one another and making an entry point for slide.
Traditionally, when patient is suspected to be diagnosed with malaria doctor collects the blood of the patient and sends it for malaria diagnosis. However, this process requires time and more human resources to process a single report (2 days). After desired number of days patient is adviced with the result, this increases cost of diagnosis since more human resource is involved.
However, Wee-scope is able to diagnose malaria instantly within minutes with the help of machine learning which in retrospect decreases the human resource therby cutting the cost. Here is the cost of malaria dignosis kit provided by Wee-scope
Giemsa Stain - 100ml (9ml is required to process 15 slides, therefore 1500/9 = 167 Patients | Rs 278) Slides - 167 slides (One slide = Rs2 | 167 x 2 = Rs334) Lancets - 167 (167 x 0.6 = Rs 100)
Total = Rs 712 | For 167 Patients Avg. Time for report generation = ~15 minutes (For single patient)
Traditional method
Malaria Parasite test = Rs 130/Patient | 130 x 167 = Rs 21710 Avg. Time for report generation= ~48 hours (For single patient)
Comparing the above statistics
Wee-scope for 167 patient = Rs 712 | with a single kit Traditional test for 167 patients = Rs 21710 Therefore, 21710/712 = 30.5
Wee-scope is 30 times cheaper than traditional method of diagnosis of malaria.
Wee-scope is cheap, light, portable and as effective as microscope in real life. Wee-scope provides magnification upto 1000x enough to diagnose diseases like sickle cell anemia with bare eyes. Wee-scope was tested with plasmodium slides acquired from local pharmacy college to test the resolution and quality of magnification. Given below are the few example of real images taken from wee scope of malaria infected blood smear. The purple color dots you see in the below images are malaria parasites.
We are implementing our Back end on PyTorch and we are deploying it on Google Colab.
!wget https://ceb.nlm.nih.gov/proj/malaria/cell_images.zip
To train our machine we used the dataset of 27,558 images. This dataset contains two folders, one containing infected samples and the other contains the uninfected ones. National Library of Medicine has provided this dataset.
!unzip cell_images.zip
Since the dataset is downloaded in Zip format We use this command to unzip the dataset.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

import torchvision
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
import skimage.io
root_path = "/content/cell_images"
uninfected_cell_images = os.listdir(root_path + "/Uninfected")
infected_cell_images = os.listdir(root_path + "/Parasitized")
healthy_im = skimage.io.imread(os.path.join(root_path, "Uninfected", uninfected_cell_images[0]))
unhealthy_im = skimage.io.imread(os.path.join(root_path, "Parasitized", infected_cell_images[0]))

Here we import all the necessary modules requried such as numpy and matplotlib. This section labels the images in datasets and segregates them into Healthy sample and Unhealthy sample.
import seaborn as sn
sizes = np.zeros((20, 20), dtype=np.dtype(int))
for healthy_im_fname in uninfected_cell_images:
if healthy_im_fname.endswith(".png"):
w, h = PIL.Image.open(os.path.join(root_path, "Uninfected", healthy_im_fname)).size
w = min(190, w)
h = min(190, h)
sizes[w // 10, h // 10] += 1
for sick_im_fname in infected_cell_images:
if sick_im_fname.endswith(".png"):
w, h = PIL.Image.open(os.path.join(root_path, "Parasitized", sick_im_fname)).size
w = min(190, w)
h = min(190, h)
sizes[w // 10, h // 10] += 1
figure(figsize=(20,15))
df = pd.DataFrame(sizes)
sn.heatmap(df, fmt='d', annot=True)
xlabel("Width of image (in 10 pixel increments)")
ylabel("Height of image (in 10 pixel increments)")
title("Image size and shape distribution.")
What the above code does is create a table showing the distribution of image shapes / sizes.

Anvil was used to deploy trained model to webapp, But what is Anvil? Well, it is a tool to create a web interface for any Python project, using pure Python. No HTML, CSS or JavaScript is required. Images that were used to diagnose disease were saved at img.save, however the backup was saved at /backup folder for further training of current model which is triggered and corrected every week to make the model better and more accurate.
