The advent of smartphone-based, non-mydriatic fundus cameras permits highly mobile, potentially cost-effective screening programs capable of reaching remote and underserved areas. Screening with ophthalmoscopes and other portable devices can be performed quickly and inexpensively by trained providers. 1 While ocular telehealth programs have revealed that digital images can be procured by non-ophthalmic providers with reasonable specificity and sensitivity, few studies have explored the potential for remote diagnosis using portable instruments. 2 Furthermore, no study to date has undertaken a diabetic screening program in the Pacific, a region facing some of the highest rates of diabetes globally. 3We piloted a low-cost, smartphone-based remote retinal diagnosis system to screen for diabetic retinopathy in a high-risk population of Samoans with diabetes and elevated blood glucose levels (Supporting Information Table S1). Our objective was to determine the percentage of gradable images that could be obtained using the PanOptic iExaminer System (Welch Allyn Inc., New York). The present study was undertaken alongside an ongoing longitudinal study of the genetics of obesity and diabetes among Samoans, the Soifua Manuia (“Good Health”) study, a village-based screening of a convenience sample of approximately 700 Samoan adults. Participants underwent a non-mydriatic, bilateral eye examination performed with the PanOptic iExaminer attached to an iPhone 6S (Apple Inc., California). This handheld instrument provides a 5-fold larger view of the fundus than a standard direct ophthalmoscope (approximately 25 vs 5). 4 A 3.5 V re-chargeable power handle was used to power the device in the field.
