Distance Diagnostics technology for Aquaculture UGA Center for Internet Imaging & Database Systems (CIIDS) Jasper/Honduras DDDI Consortium
Overview • Complements mailing of physical samples for evaluation, using Web form and digital images. • Versatile and expandable to other disciplines, states and countries. • Initially developed by Plant Pathology Department and Office of Information Technology with extramural funding; now produced by the Center for Internet Imaging & Database Systems (CIIDS) • Our focus: to produce a system that is easy to use, supportable, facilitates diagnostics, and is easily replicated.
Distance Diagnostics Imaging Station - digital cameras, computer, dissecting microscope, compound microscope, microscope/camera adapter, printer and plant disease compendia
Imaging Station Distribution in Georgia Counties in greencurrently have full Imaging Stations. All counties have hand-held digital cameras and Internet access.
Roles of Participants & Technology • Faculty with appropriate responsibilities produce images of specimens and submit DDDI samples. • Diagnostic faculty in participating departments access DDDI samples and submit appropriate evaluations, recommendations and comments. • The Web-based system uses forms designed by each discipline to collect environmental and specific sample information, and up to five images.
The system notifies the appropriate diagnostic faculty via e-mail.. diagnostician@uga.edu
