iCare Home2 Tonometry: Towards Clinically Useful Patient-Derived Data
Provider: Mivision
Activity Outline
Increasingly,
individuals are assuming a greater role in managing their health conditions.
Patient-derived data has transformed the management of several chronic
diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, where patients measure their own
blood pressure or blood sugars and share this information with their health
care providers to guide medication dosage adjustments. Glaucoma, with its
pressure-dependent treatment target, is in a similar category; however, until
recently there has been no appropriate tool for patient-derived measurements.
The iCare Home2 tonometer offers real promise as a first step into this area.
In this article Professors William Morgan, David Mackey, and Andrew Turpin illustrate some of the strengths and limitations of the system. They also show an interesting, but typical, patient dataset.
Learning Objectives
- Understand why home monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) can be beneficial when managing patients with glaucoma
- Realise the accuracy of iCare Home2 IOP monitoring
- Understand how to analyse data generated
- Be aware of steps necessary to prepare patients to use the iCare Home2
