Assistive Product Makula-App

Patients can use the macular app to document their illness on their smartphone and monitor changes by entering the current visual acuity and retinal thickness. This allows affected individuals to contribute to the control and monitoring of treatment themselves. Furthermore, ophthalmologist appointments and contacts can be saved. The possibility of regular self-monitoring enables patients to better deal with changes in their vision. The brief information contained in the app on important keywords relating to the illness AMD, therapy and offers of assistance, as well as the search function for competent contact persons, also in the area of suitable assistive products, are also helpful.

The app is also suitable for people with diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVV) and myoper choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), and is intended to help strengthen the active role of affected persons and relatives in managing and keeping appointments, so that they actively deal with the illness outside the doctor's office. This also relieves the burden on the doctor and specialist staff.
