Description

APPAREIL PORTABLE DE TELECOMMUNICATIONS AVEC MICROSCOPE NUMERIQUE INTEGRE. PORTABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS WITH INTEGRATED DIGITAL MICROSCOPE.
La présente invention concerne un appareil portable de télécommunications doté d'un microscope numérique, d'un appareil photographique et d'une caméra vidéo. Le but de l'invention est l'analyse visuelle d'échantillons de manière rapide et précise ainsi que le stockage des images issues de cette analyse depuis n'importe quel endroit où des études sont réalisées. Cet appareil est également équipé d'un système de géolocalisation et d'un logiciel de reconnaissance d'image afin de faciliter et d'automatiser l'analyse de caractérisation morphologique des éléments étudiés, qu'ils soient d'origine minérale, végétale, animale ou autre ainsi que l'étude de vecteurs de maladies comme la Dengue, la Fièvre jaune ou la Malaria, à travers l'analyse de larves de moustiques et l'identification taxonomique des culicidés faites sur le lieu même du prélèvement ou dans un laboratoire. L'appareil est également connectable à un réseau par un câble de connexion pour le transfert de données vers des appareils comme un micro-ordinateur, un appareil de télévision ou autre.The present invention relates to a portable telecommunications apparatus having a digital microscope, a camera and a video camera. The object of the invention is the visual analysis of samples quickly and accurately and the storage of images from this analysis from any place where studies are conducted. This device is also equipped with a geolocation system and image recognition software to facilitate and automate the morphological characterization analysis of the elements studied, whether of mineral, plant or animal origin. or other, as well as the study of vectors of diseases such as Dengue fever, Yellow fever or Malaria, through the analysis of mosquito larvae and the taxonomic identification of culicids made at the place of collection or in a laboratory. The device is also connectable to a network by a connection cable for transferring data to devices such as a microcomputer, a television set or the like.
Dans le cadre de la description de l'invention, l'exemple de la Dengue et de son agent de transmission, le moustique Aedes Aegypti, seront utilisés. Actuellement, le contrôle entomologique se fait par le prélèvement de larves de moustiques, réalisé sur place par des agents de santé ou des personnes formées pour une telle tâche. Les larves de moustiques prélevées sont ensuite transmises à un laboratoire pour y être analysées avec des microscopes conventionnels de manière à obtenir une identification précise de l'espèce à laquelle appartient chaque larve prélevée.In the context of the description of the invention, the example of Dengue and its transmission agent, the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, will be used. Currently, entomological control is carried out by collecting mosquito larvae, carried out on site by health workers or persons trained for such a task. The collected mosquito larvae are then transmitted to a laboratory for analysis with conventional microscopes to provide accurate identification of the species to which each larva collected.
Dans le même temps, une estimation des populations de moustiques pouvant infester chaque lieu de prélèvement après la période larvaire est réalisée. A partir de l'identification et du comptage des espèces, un degré de risque d'épidémie est obtenu. Après cette définition, les techniciens déterminent les actions qui devront être prises pour empêcher la déclaration de la maladie, qui n'est possible qu'en brisant la chaine de transmission, c'est-à-dire en éliminant les moustiques sur le lieu de leur reproduction.At the same time, an estimate of mosquito populations that can infest each sampling site after the larval period is carried out. From the identification and counting of species, a degree of risk of epidemic is obtained. After this definition, the technicians determine the actions that must be taken to prevent the declaration of the disease, which is only possible by breaking the chain of transmission, that is to say by eliminating the mosquitoes at the place of their reproduction .
Un des grands problèmes de ce mode d'analyse réside dans la grande différence entre le moment du prélèvement et celui de l'identification et du comptage des espèces, et le cycle de vie du moustique. Il faut dix jours en moyenne au moustique Aedes Aegypti pour passer de la phase œuf à la phase adulte, le moustique Aedes Aegypti commençant à s'accoupler et à se reproduire dès les premier et deuxième jours de la vie adulte. Le temps de traitement des données collectées étant généralement supérieur au cycle de reproduction du moustique, il peut y avoir infestation et déclaration de l'épidémie de Dengue avant même d'avoir les résultats des études menées en laboratoire qui servent à définir les mesures de prévention de la maladie. Ainsi, les actions de prévention sont souvent prises après l'éclosion des premières générations de moustiques, rendant possible la déclaration de la maladie.One of the major problems of this mode of analysis is the great difference between the time of collection and that of the identification and counting of species, and the life cycle of the mosquito. It takes ten days on average for the Aedes Aegypti mosquito to move from the egg phase to the adult phase, with the Aedes Aegypti mosquito starting to mate and reproduce on the first and second days of adulthood. As the processing time of the collected data is generally higher than the mosquito's reproductive cycle, there can be an infestation and a declaration of the Dengue epidemic even before having the results of the laboratory studies used to define the preventive measures. of the disease. Thus, prevention actions are often taken after the first generations of mosquitoes hatch, making it possible to declare the disease.
La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients en augmentant l'efficacité du système de prévention et de lutte contre la maladie grâce à l'étude et l'analyse microscopique sur le lieu même du prélèvement ou en laboratoire, à travers l'intégration d'un appareil portable de télécommunications, d'un microscope numérique, d'un appareil photographique, d'une caméra vidéo, d'une capacité de capture et de stockage d'images ainsi que d'un dispositif de géolocalisation, pour géolocaliser le lieu du prélèvement des éléments analysés.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by increasing the effectiveness of the disease prevention and control system by means of microscopic study and analysis at the sampling site or in the laboratory, through the integration of a portable telecommunications apparatus, a digital microscope, a camera, a video camera, an image capture and storage capability and a geolocation device, for geolocating the collection site elements analyzed.
