    Automated parasistaemia quantification in mice infected with tripanozoma cruzi
    (IEEE, 2020) Centeno , Carlos; Voos, Javier; Salamero, Martín Alejandro; Donet, Luis; Dogliani, Matías; Casasnovas, Santiago; Osimani, César; LoPresti, Silvina; Salamero, Martín
    This paper presents a custom solution implementation to automate the calculation of the Trypanosoma cruzi parasites present in a blood smear. The process to determine parasitaemia, or parasites presence in the fresh drop sample, is performed by a software application developed with Python and OpenCV libraries having a Raspberry Pi board for execution environment with a digital camera connected for video capture from an optical microscope. The software implements image processing techniques and the algorithm was approved; allowing a considerable saving of time in the evaluated blood samples processing; increasing the accuracy of the parasite count. Additionally, a cloud multimedia database is integrated with the solution to store images, videos and data associated with parasitaemia results per each sample.

    Medical event notification system using SMS technology
    (Jorunal of Physics, 2013) Voos, Javier; Riva, Guillermo; Zerbini, Carlos; Centeno, Carlos; Olmos, Carlos; Gonzalez, Eduardo
    This paper presents a medical event notification system implementation using short message service (SMS) over the cellular network. The main objective is the announcement for vaccination campaigns and availability of a particular medical attention at health sites where these services are not regularly provided. In this way, it provides a tool that facilitates healthcare in remote locations without medical assistance infrastructure. Since the main requirement of these systems is to achieve its massive adoption, SMS service is used to guarantee reaching all recipients regardless of their mobile device technology.
