App for monitoring eye health launched

Eye care professionals can monitor the eye health of patients remotely

A smartphone app that enables eye care professionals to remotely monitor the eye health of patients has been launched by Bristol-based company Okko Health.

Founded by optometrist Dr Stephanie Campbell, the app has been developed to provide personalised and remote care in between physical appointments.

Campbell said: ‘We never imagined we would be launching this product in the middle of a pandemic. But, we’re optimistic about the positive impact that this software will have on the most vulnerable groups of patients. With our app they can now track key indicators of their eye health from the safety of their own homes. I have no doubt this technology will be a sight-saver for many.’
