GlassesOff
The patient's computer and a central server, in one feedback loop.
GlassesOff developed a treatment for presbyopia — reading without glasses — through computerised training. We built the system that ran it.
The system linked the patient's computer to a central server in a feedback process: the software sent data on how the treatment was going and received back instructions for continuing it, under the supervision of ophthalmologists and optometrists.
How it worked
Why this was not just another client-server
A system feeding a clinical decision cannot settle for "sent and received": every training session had to arrive whole, be read correctly at the other end, and come back as a concrete instruction for this patient rather than for an average. The people approving those instructions were ophthalmologists and optometrists, and the system was built so that they had something to look at.
A medical-technology project
A system connecting a user's device or computer to a server, with a decision in the middle that someone is answerable for — that is the work.
