Digital health company Implandata has launched its web-based Eyemate IOP-Tracking Service for remote monitoring and management of glaucoma care.
The Eyemate IOP-Tracking Service will provide eye doctors with Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) measurements collected under patients’ normal life conditions.
Prof. Kaweh Mansouri, ophthalmologist at Clinique de Montchoisi Lausanne and chief medical officer of Implandata said: “Remote IOP monitoring provides immediate alert in case the therapy needs to be adjusted, without requiring an office visit. This is vital for controlling glaucoma, because IOP fluctuates continually without patients noticing it. The need for remote monitoring is even greater during stay-at-home orders, as we’re experiencing due to COVID-19; we can ensure that glaucoma care is well managed, without putting patients at risk.”
CEO Max Ostermeier added: “We are committed to patients’ well-being. The Eyemate system is backed by ten years of clinical data, which means the safety and utility are proven. In past years, increasing numbers of glaucoma patients have called us. They’re worried about losing their eyesight and looking for a way to control their disease. The current pandemic further increases the need for digital health and remote monitoring solutions.”
