Background:

  • Accurate cell counting in blood samples is crucial for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.
  • Software-based cell counting offers speed and cost advantages over manual or hardware methods.
  • Existing normalized cross-correlation (NCC) algorithms are too energy-intensive for mobile POC platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize the NCC algorithm for reduced runtime and energy consumption.
  • To enable the deployment of efficient software-based cell counting on mobile POC devices.
  • To maintain high counting accuracy with optimized algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • Identified inefficiencies within the traditional NCC-based cell counting algorithm.
  • Developed and implemented two synergistic optimization techniques.
  • Tested the optimized algorithm on an Android smartphone platform.

Main Results:

  • The optimized algorithm demonstrated a substantial reduction in runtime and energy consumption.
  • Achieved an 11.5x decrease in runtime compared to the original NCC algorithm on a smartphone.
  • Negligible impact on cell counting accuracy was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed optimization techniques significantly enhance the efficiency of software-based cell counting.
  • This advancement facilitates the use of mobile, battery-powered devices for accurate POC blood cell analysis.
  • The optimized algorithm presents a viable solution for energy-constrained diagnostic platforms.
