Donker, Pim (author)This thesis proposes a method of detecting autonomic neuropathy in low-income countries using an infrared camera. Access to healthcare is often limited in low-income countries delaying the detection of neuropathy. If neuropathy can be detected in the earliest stage, often the autonomic state, damage to motor and sensory nerves can be prevented....master thesis 2024

van Loon, Rafael (author)The availability of laparoscopy in low-income settings has been limited based on the requirements that have to be met to perform this type of abdominal surgery. At the same time, these regions and countries could stand to gain the most from it based on quicker recovery times and a lower chance of infections. Attempts have been made to solve this...master thesis 2024
