Eyes 4 Lives Intros Dr. i-coach, a Device That Monitors Eye Activity
Product: Dr. i-coach Cloud Database and Platform
Top Line: Optical device company Eyes 4 Lives has created a device to effectively monitor an individual's screen interaction in real-time to reduce issues that can lead to myopia, eye strain (a.k.a. Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS), and dry eye. Doctors can access the cloud-based platform and utilize the data collected through the device to give professional medical advice.
Close observations through time, collected by the device, can reveal habitual changes that are hard to observe through a single eyecare visit.
The data collected by the user community can be useful for future medical research.
Close Up: The Dr. i-Coach sensor monitors how long computer users have been in front of the computer and at what distance. It is equipped with a blink rate monitor which alerts the user whenever blink rates are too low, minimizing the effects of computer-induced eye strain and dry eyes. It will force computer users to take a break or alter their distance from the screen in order to rest their eyes. Dr. i-Coach also monitors sitting position and posture, reminding the user if the screen is too high or low. Thanks to facial recognition software, individual users are able to log in and see the device's history and maintain a log of their computer habits. Their eye doctor can also log in to see the patient's data to enhance the diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
Vital Stats:
• Distance Monitor
• Timer
• Sitting Height Monitor
• Blink Rate Monitor
• Environmental Light Detector
• Visual Acuity Test
• Macular Degeneration Test
• Color Perception Test
• Patient Recall
