The concept of diagnosing diseases using fly eyes revolves around the intricate structure of the compound eyes found in flies. These eyes, composed of thousands of tiny photoreceptive units, allow flies to detect minute changes in their environment. We have explored the possibility of mimicking this biological design to develop advanced diagnostic tools. By creating artificial sensors that replicate the fly's ability to detect subtle variations, we aim to diagnose diseases at an early stage with high precision. This innovative approach leverages the natural efficiency of fly eyes to enhance medical diagnostics, potentially leading to quicker and more accurate detection of various conditions.
