We develop, design and implement telerehabilitation clinical protocols and services, for clinics treating the visually impaired. Clinicians treat patients in their homes via the internet

Among the functions provided are:

Vision tests including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual fields and scotoma mapping

Automatic acquisition of of the patient’s functional history, psychosocial history, and review of systems (i.e., health history).
