A new smartphone attachment could enable people to screen for a variety of neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury, at low cost — and do so accurately regardless of their skin tone. The attachment fits over a smartphone’s camera to capture clear video of pupil size changes, which can offer clues about an individual’s neurological functions. The device helps the camera see the pupil easily in dark eye colors.
