Visual impairment is a major consequence of stroke yet specialist assessment is often not available in a timely manner. IbisVision already has a tele-optometry platform that enables a clinician to establish a secure link with their patient in real-time. The project: 1) To optimise the existing platform so that it can be used by stroke patients with mild to severe impairments. To do this we will look at how stroke victims are best able to interact with the assessments and make responses to the system- mouse movement, button clicking, verbal communication etc and we will modify the platform to accommodate the widest range of users. The team also believe it will be possible to combine these two tests into a single rapid low-stress assessment suitable for patients who might be emotionally unstable and easily fatigued as is typical of brain injury.
