Technology Research Projects

Rapid advances in mobile technology, processing power and connectivity in the last two decades have created many opportunities for improving eye health, particularly in low-resource or remote locations.

Artificial intelligence, smart devices and health systems software are all methods by which we can improve services and access to them, and we have several research projects in this area.
